There are plenty of people in the Democratic Party who believe Dean is a disaster in waiting, a man who will be easily tagged outside the mainstream and go down as easily as McGovern, Walter Mondale or Michael Dukakis did. Those people, however, are splitting their votes among Gephardt, Lieberman, Kerry and Edwards. The only other candidate to show real improvement in the polls is Clark, who -- like Dean -- opposed the war in Iraq and is running as a Washington outsider. A new series of Lieberman ads launched in early voting states this week underscore the electability strategy. In a new television ad running in South Carolina and Oklahoma, where primaries will be held on Feb. 3 and are crucial to Lieberman's winning strategy, the announcer asks: "How do we defeat George Bush's extreme agenda? It'll take more than extreme anger. Joe Lieberman has spent 30 years rejecting the extremes of both parties." In a radio ad now running in New Hampshire, where Dean maintains a substantial lead in polls, the announcer asks: "Hey, want to know a secret? Shhh. It's from a private closed-door meeting between George W. Bush and the prime minister of Australia. Newspapers report that George Bush told the prime minister who he thinks would be the toughest Democrat for him to run against. What do you think he said? Howard Dean? No way. George Bush said that Joe Lieberman would be the toughest Democrat to beat. That's right. Lieberman's the one that Bush says he worries about the most." washingtonpost.com
