I find it curious that you would criticize all of those "thousnds (sic) of small donations". It seems to me that the little guy is represented by that group. I guess Big Ketchup doesn't need the grassroots. ~SB~

Every Democratic vote won by Dean is a vote lost by Kerry. McGovern went over the top because the Dem rank and file knew Nixon could never lose in 1972. Today they know that Bush can't lose in 2004, so the idea of anyone who can pretend to even a slight moderation is useless to them. It's the party leaders who stress over "The Red Dean". But, like 1972, they aren't going to call this one. It's a free play for the dominant anti-American wing of the party, and they'll make a deal with the low-income, illiterate plantation segment of the black community, and that will ice the delegate count. I expect you'll support the ticket of "The Red Dean" and "Bovine Braun" as soon as it's fait accompli. After all, YOUR only criterion is anti-Bush/anti-American, so you'll dance with whoever shows up at the ball...

Have you noticed that Kerry never says or does anything unintentionally? Everything is planned out well in advance. Some would even say he's a schemer. I am constantly reminded of an incident that occurred when he took office in 1985. He went down to Washington a day early, Jan 2 1985, to get sworn in before his fellow senators-elect so that HE could have seniority in committee assignments. (Jan 3rd is the customary swear-in day.) I remember his and Speaker Tip O'Neill's bragging about this maneuver at the time in the Boston papers. A check of the congressional record will show new senators Tom Harkin, John Rockefeller, Phil Gramm and Mitch McConnell all being sworn in to the Senate on Jan 3 1985, and John Kerry being sworn in a day earlier on Jan 2 1985. You can bet Harkin and Rockefeller won't be doing fundraisers for him!

Dean and Kerry Deadlocked in N.H. Poll By WILL LESTER ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrats Howard Dean and John Kerry are deadlocked in a New Hampshire poll of likely voters in the presidential primary. The survey by Franklin Pierce College showed Dean, the former Vermont governor, at 22 percent, and Kerry, the Massachusetts senator, at 21 percent. The poll, conducted for WNDS-TV in Derry, N.H., was taken July 20-24. The survey also found an increasing number of undecided voters - 37 percent, up from 31 percent in May. A poll last week by the American Research Group in New Hampshire also found a spike in the undecideds, with many saying they were taking another look at the Democratic field as President Bush's approval ratings dropped and he appeared more vulnerable. The American Research Group poll showed Kerry with a slight lead over Dean. Only three in 10 voters in the Franklin Pierce poll said they were definitely committed to their chosen candidate. The remaining Democratic candidates were in single digits, with Rep. Dick Gephardt of Missouri and Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut at 6 percent. Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina was at 2 percent, and Sen. Bob Graham of Florida was at 1 percent. Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, Carol Moseley Braun and Al Sharpton were at zero percent. Two unannounced potential candidates - retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark and Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware - received some support: Clark was at 2 percent, Biden at 1 percent. New Hampshire holds the nation's first presidential primary, tentatively set for Jan. 27, 2004. Another recent poll, conducted for The Boston Herald and released last weekend, also showed Dean and Kerry essentially tied. The Franklin Pierce poll of 500 likely primary voters had an error margin of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
