Dean may be falling into a big trap. He had a marvelous August and first few weeks of September fundraising, and now maybe he expects that to continue. But it wont. So he's spending away and planning to not go with public financing. Meanwhile he may find himself in deep caca with Clark sucking up his outsider rebel support and Kerry/Lieberman/Gephardt attacking him from the middle. Even Kucinich could be a problem, attacking Dean from the far left. Dean is no longer flavor of the month but he's making his summer fundraising an issue, all but saying "look at me, I'm the fronturunner!". Then, when it falls off, he'll look like a has-been. Beware telling people you're the frontrunner. Bush was 32% ahead of McCain in New Hampshire at this time during the last election and McCain ended up winning it. With 30% undecided in NH, Kerry could easily win it. He has a 70% approval rating there and he's many Deanies close second choice. Watch him become the first choice before this is all over. If Dean loses NH, he's finished. Losing a 21% lead is crushing. Kerry is no the underdog there.
