did you see the big smiles on McCain-Feingold

They certainly looked happy, though the political operatives on both sides of the fence have already figured out how to "game" the new rules. I do not expect campaign financing to be a big issue in next year's elections, particularly if Dean is the nominee, but it will probably be back on the table in 2005.

Bush has a huge lead over Dean in New Hampshire. This was a state that he only carried by a 273,559 to 266,348 margin in 2000.

DEAN IN FOR N.H. BUSH-WHACKING: POLL

By DEBORAH ORIN

December 12, 2003 -- WASHINGTON - A stunning new poll shows President Bush would clobber Democratic front-runner Howard Dean by nearly 2-1 in politically potent New Hampshire - even though Dean has a giant lead over Democratic rivals in the state.

Bush gets 57 percent to Dean's 30 percent among registered voters in the American Research Group poll. In fact, Dean, from neighboring Vermont, does worse in the Granite State than a generic "Democratic Party nominee" who loses to Bush by 51 to 34 percent. Another ARG poll this month showed Dean with a 30-point lead over Sen. John Kerry (Mass.) for the Jan. 27 New Hampshire primary, the second test after the Jan. 19 Iowa caucuses.

The new poll seems sure to fuel claims by rivals that Dean would be another George McGovern debacle for Democrats in the general election.
