Bill, he did isn't it. This is one person who saved two lives personally in Vietnam. Besides he also overcome cancer. He is Presidential and most of all he is a very very good debater. The veterans will come out for Kerry. Max Cleland, the Viet Nam amputee, will campaign for him in the South. As Keery put it in his speech in Iowa today, he will not rest until he declares "Mission Accomplished" after winning the White House in November 2004. INteresting to see him debating Bush standing side-by-side. Another JFK/Nixon scenario, I presume. If Kerry has a photo op driving a military tank, nobody would ridicule him as they did when Dukakis did so. If he has a photoop flying onto the deck of a naval carrier nobody will ridicule him as a George Bush. All because he has been there, done that and hence would be projecting a very natural image of himself. As Kerry says: Mr. President, BRING IT ON.

Poll: Dean Holds Slim New Hampshire Lead Over Kerry Tue January 20, 2004 10:05 PM ET By John Whitesides, Political Correspondent MANCHESTER, N.H. (Reuters) - Democrat Howard Dean holds a dwindling two-point lead over Iowa caucus winner John Kerry in New Hampshire one week before the state's presidential primary, according to a Reuters/MSNBC/Zogby poll released on Tuesday. Dean led Kerry 25 percent to 23 percent in the three-day tracking poll, which began on Sunday, the day before Kerry's stunning win in Iowa in the first contest in the Democratic race to pick a challenger to President Bush. But in Tuesday's polling, taken after the caucus results were known, Kerry actually led Dean by two percentage points after the former Vermont governor finished a distant third in Iowa. In third place was retired Gen. Wesley Clark at 16 percent, with North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, who finished a surprise second in Iowa, and Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman tied for fourth place at 7 percent. The poll found 16 percent of likely New Hampshire primary voters are still undecided ahead of the primary, with the number of undecided voters growing during the course of the three days of polling. "Clark has slid a point a day since Sunday," pollster John Zogby said. "As Dean drops, undecided jumped to 20 points on Tuesday alone." Zogby said the rising number of undecided voters was not unusual, with voters often shifting to undecided first as they rethink their support for a candidate. The poll of 600 likely primary voters was taken on Sunday through Tuesday and has a margin of error of four percentage points. It will continue through Jan. 27, the day of the New Hampshire primary. Dean once led in New Hampshire polls by more than 20 percentage points, but has seen his lead shrink quickly in recent weeks as he came under relentless attacks from his rivals and as voters re-evaluated the candidates before the caucuses in Iowa. Kerry, the four-term senator from Massachusetts whose campaign was given up for dead just weeks ago, roared back into the Democratic race and capped his comeback with Monday's win in Iowa. He and Edwards, who also received a jolt of energy for his campaign with his surprise second-place showing in Iowa, should benefit from the Iowa results with increased momentum in New Hampshire. "Stay tuned; there is as much movement here as there was in Iowa," Zogby said. A tracking poll combines the results of three consecutive nights of polling, then drops the first night's results each time a new night is added. It allows pollsters to record shifts in voter sentiment as they happen. Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich received 2 percent in the poll, with civil rights activist Al Sharpton getting less than 1 percent.
