Lizzie, Thanks for posting the Dave Reinhard op/ed piece. I've followed his career for a number of years. I count Reinhard as a pretty narrow-minded Republican with a very strong pro-corporatista bias. So it is refreshing to see how is trying to portray Howard Dean as a "man of the peepul", similar to Teflon Ron. That's excellent, if Dean can sell that image to the public. My great hope for the 2004 campaign cylce is that Bush/Rove try to play the national security card, and keep scaring the bejeesus out of the public. By now, most of us are way past caring about the next Homeland Security color-du-jour scare report. We want to get back to being Americans and having a positive outlook. This is Dean's opening. As opposed to the darkness at dawn message that the despicable deceivers like Oil Slick Dick and Bush's Brain want to portray, Dean can emulate Reagan's "Morning in America" theme. It'll be killer. Just as Lyndon Johnson blew up Goldwater in '64 by painting Goldwater as a trigger-happy war monger, Dean can easily make the case the Bush is grossly irresponsible in the use of our military. And that case won't be hard to prove to the American public. A good ad from MoveOn or ACT showing a lineup of the 1,000 or so caskets of military losses that the Pentagon won't show us would be a powerful visual image of the carnage that Bush has wrought. Bush is vulnerable to being portrayed as a reckless bully. And America is ready for a new day.

Also, Dean appeals to the younger voter because he is opposed to the war and he announced a very good program this week that would guarantee student loans. I know someone who wants to transfer to university, but she has had trouble with her application for a student loan. The two big unions that endorsed Dean recently have a younger population as well. George W. Bush's budget deficits and Iraq war have threatened the financial security of the Middle class and America's young people. His tax cuts to the richest Americans and the debt he runs up over the Iraq war will come back to haunt us.
