Massachusetts politicians arm Dean against Kerry attack

news.bostonherald.com

As Sen. John F. Kerry intensified his attacks on Howard Dean's Iraq position, the former Vermont governor taunted Kerry without saying a word - releasing a list of Massachusetts pols campaigning for Dean this weekend.

......

Dean then rolled out a list of 75 elected Bay State officials who will embarrass the senator by campaigning for Dean in New Hampshire this weekend. The officials include state Reps. Jay R. Kaufman of Lexington, Frank Smizik of Brookline and Charles A. Murphy of Burlington.

``It's certainly a statement of Gov. Dean's widespread appeal that so many Massachusetts leaders and officials are in Gov. Dean's camp,'' said Dean's New Hampshire spokeswoman, Dorie Clark.

After former Vice President Al Gore this week said Dean was the only Democrat to stand against the Iraq war, Kerry struck with new force - saying Dean has flip-flopped on the war.

Kerry said yesterday Dean's support for a congressional amendment that allowed Bush to use force in Iraq is no different than Kerry's vote for a similar resolution authorizing the attacks.

``Howard Dean took the same position we did and, for months, he has been selling something else,'' Kerry said.

Dean's campaign said the bill he backed was far different from the one Kerry supported, saying it forced Bush to return to Congress before attacking Iraq. Kerry's campaign countered that the bill only required a letter amounting to a ``heads up.''
