Politics : PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Dean is tied with Clark and just a few points "ahead" of Lieberman, Gephardt and Kerry (margin of error and fluidity making it perhaps a five way tie).

Kerry I expect will make a big move now after a few weeks of negative reporting. Dean may have already peaked and just can't keep getting stroked by the press.

As Craig Crawford said on TV (who always seems to bash Kerry and play up Dean and Bush) even dean suporters may be having buyer's remorse because of his obvous un-electability factor. All sane and sober minds can tell dean is a poor candidate to take away Bush's "macho leadership" vote. Macho leadership is the only area where Bush still enjoys high ratings, still up over 60%. War heros Clark and Kerry could take that away lickedly split.

Dean has about 15% support. If you think that's a "frontrunner" then fine, but obviously anyone with 20% or more beats him. Question is, who's got 20%? No one yet. A few major candidates have to drop out first, then you'll see the real race begin.

HOWARD DEAN, OUR NEXT PRESIDENT

Richard,

I agree with you completely. Dean is looking unstoppable at this point. Kerry has managed to show himself to be far too much of a hypocrite, Clark isn't quite polished enough, Gephardt is last century's answer and the rest are also rans.

The only wild card is Hillary Clinton. If she smells victory in November for Dean, she'll do everything in her power to sabotage him. Which she started to do quite in the open last Saturday night at the J-J Dinner in Des Moines where she was allowed to upstage all the candidates.
