al gore invented Internet(??) now Dean using it (??) where is kerry (??) Howard Dean's Internet Push: Where Will It Lead? By GLEN JUSTICE Published: November 2, 2003 THESE are good times to be an Internet consultant working in politics. Just ask Ben Green, whose firm, Crossroad Strategies, has handled online duties for clients like Senators John Kerry and Hillary Rodham Clinton. ... Dr. Dean's Internet fund-raising presents the first new addition in years to time-tested strategies like direct mail, phone solicitation and events in restaurants and hotels that mix donors with candidates in exchange for a check. It has many hoping for a new vein of money for cash-strapped party committees or Congressional challengers unable to finance a candidacy otherwise. ... nytimes.com "It's tough to keep up with the demand," he said. "We're getting inquiries daily, as opposed to once a month or once a week." He has Howard Dean to thank, at least in part.

No Democrat holds a clear lead in the race for the presidential nomination. Former Vermont governor Howard Dean leads the field with 16 percent of the vote, followed by Rep. Richard A. Gephardt (13 percent), Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (13 percent) and retired Gen. Wesley K. Clark (12 percent). No other candidate gets more than 10 percent of the vote. Nearly seven in 10 Democrats said they were satisfied with their choices this year, virtually identical to the proportion satisfied with the field in early January 2000. But the survey also found that Democrats know little about the candidates. Lieberman and Gephardt are best known, though only about a third acknowledged they knew much about the two candidates' personal qualities or issue positions. Only one in six Democrats was familiar with Clark, the least well-known of the first-tier candidates. washingtonpost.com
