Wrong!. News of Bush's demise is grossly exaggerated by you:

Even other Democrats don't like this Dean character:

Kerry Spokesman Questions Dean's Ability to Lead

Monday, April 28, 2003

WASHINGTON — A spokesman for Sen. John Kerry's (search) presidential campaign
questioned Democratic rival Howard Dean's (search) capacity to lead the U.S. military
in a sign of the escalating tension in the party's primary race for the White House.

Kerry spokesman Chris Lehane issued a
statement in response to Dean's
comments in an article posted Monday on
Time.com. "We have to take a different
approach" to diplomacy," the former
Vermont governor was quoted as saying
during a campaign stop in New
Hampshire. "We won't always have the
strongest military."

"Howard Dean's stated belief that the
United States won't always have the
strongest military raises serious questions
about his capacity to serve as commander
in chief," Lehane said. "No serious
candidate for the presidency has ever
before suggested that he would
compromise or tolerate an erosion of
America's military supremacy."

Calls to Dean's campaign for comment were not immediately returned.

Until now, most of the Democrats seeking the presidential nomination have generally
avoided criticizing one another by name on the campaign trail. Dean has been the
exception, singling out Kerry for what he called an unclear position on the Iraq war. The
Massachusetts lawmaker refused to respond to Dean on that issue.

Polls from New Hampshire show Kerry and Dean in a tight race in that early primary state,
which borders their home states. Kerry, who is considered an early front-runner in the
Democratic primary, had a strong lead in New Hampshire until recent weeks when Dean
closed the gap while campaigning as an outspoken opponent of the U.S.-led war against
Iraq.
