Soros Doubts townhall.com Robert Novak (archive) December 20, 2003 WASHINGTON -- Left-wing billionaire investor George Soros, who appeared to support Howard Dean for president, now is privately expressing doubts about the Democratic Party's front-runner. In conversations with political friends, Soros confided he has become alarmed by Dean's recent performance and wonders whether the former Vermont governor is capable of defeating George W. Bush. In one such chat, Soros suggested he is interested in retired Gen. Wesley Clark. Soros has made clear his visceral opposition to President Bush and his passionate desire to find somebody who can defeat him for a second term. The financier has pledged $10 million to America Coming Together (ACT) and $2.5 million to MoveOn.org -- both anti-Bush organizations. <snip> POSTHUMOUS ENDORSEMENT Former Sen. Carol Moseley Braun of Illinois, seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, claims that the posthumously announced endorsement of Howard Dean by her fellow Illinoisan, former Sen. Paul Simon, was limited in scope. Attending Simon's memorial service in Carbondale, Ill., Braun was stunned to hear former U.S. District Judge Abner Mikva in his eulogy say the late former senator before his death expressed support for Dean. She turned to Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley and whispered, "That (endorsement) applied only to the Iowa caucuses." A footnote: Close associates of Daley say he is concerned about Dean as a general election candidate but has no plans to endorse anybody for president.
