Howard Dean: The Targeted Wing of the Democratic Party By Terry M. Neal washingtonpost.com Staff Writer Wednesday, November 5, 2003; 12:00 AM The hits on Howard Dean are coming fast and furious and from all angles. In the last week, Dean's Democratic opponents have pounded the former Vermont governor with rhetorical assaults. .... This all raises the question: If Dean becomes the nominee, is there any chance that the party can rally around him to beat President Bush? This is not a subject that any of the people working in the campaigns of Dean's Democratic opponents are eager to broach on the record. But a not-for-attribution sampling from some top officials in other campaigns gives an idea of the anti-Dean angst. "I think it'll be more difficult than with other candidates" to rally around Dean if he wins the nomination," said an official with one campaign. "I think there would be a lot of hurt feelings by other campaigns, and I think there'll be a lot of concern that this guy will be McGovern II that'll cost you a lot of seats in the Congress." A Common Enemy While operatives for Dean's opponents are concerned that he will divide the Democratic Party in the general election, he seems to be uniting his opponents as they look for a way to stop his surprising surge in the early campaign. In a story reported by the Associated Press on Tuesday, "top aides to Edwards, Gephardt and Kerry" spoke about a conference call they held last week during which the aides discussed whether they could block the 1.6-million member Service Employees International Union from endorsing Dean.
