Excerpt:

DUBUQUE, Iowa -- Flanked by his two highest-profile
backers, Howard Dean launched another assault on
President Bush, asserting that he "doesn't understand
ordinary Americans."

Polls have shown Dean and Missouri Rep. Dick Gephardt
bunched tightly together atop the field of candidates for
Iowa's caucuses, with Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry
generally running third.

Dean hastily revamped his schedule to make a joint
appearance Saturday with former Vice President Al Gore
and Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin.

"This is an extraordinary moment for me," Dean said in a
college chapel filled to overflowing.

Both Harkin and Gore said they endorsed Dean because he
has energized the Democratic Party and brought legions of
new people into politics.

"He has found a way to inspire enthusiasm at the
grass-roots level and bring new people to the party and
that's what we need," Gore said.

Harkin said his endorsement would not be in name only,
pledging to work hard for Dean every day leading up to the
Iowa caucuses a week from Monday.

"I have basically canceled everything I was scheduled to do
for the next nine days," Harkin said.

Dean responded with a spirited assault on Bush, leaving
his Democratic rivals relatively untouched.

"This president is destroying the middle class of America,"
he said.
