Clark to drop out. Very sensible thing to do. When will Dean do so? The writing is on the wall. story.news.yahoo.com

Ann, who is your candidate, Dean or Edwards? Are you giving up on Dean? Edwards is also a long shot. Even a Republican like Bob Dole who has a lot of experience said that Kerry is going to run away with the nomination considering that he has to go into delegate rich states like California, New York etc. which is going to go for Kerry. If Dean goes to these states, people will think that he is not qualified to be President, that he lacks a sense of reality, that he continues to be arrogant like what they thought of him to begin with. Dean could have redeemed his image if he bowed out gracefully at the time when he initially said that Michigan would be his testing ground and then pulled out of Michigan. But for him to persist and change the rules and say he will wait for Wisconsin for him to pull out makes him look worse than Bush's decision making capability. Ann, I know you Deaniacs continue to like Dean and I am sorry to say things that would hurt your feelings. But sometimes one has to stand up for the truth and say what one serioously believes in. And what I said above is what I seriously believe in.

Ann, Bush better watch out on negative campaigning especially attacking the Kerry family. If Bush veers from talking on issues, uses people like Rush and Drudge to smear Kerry on a personal level, Teresa Heinz is going to go after them. Major Kerry Asset Could Become Liability Rules, Political Repercussions Cloak His Wife's $500 Million By Thomas B. Edsall Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, February 22, 2004; Page A05 Teresa Heinz Kerry remains open to the possibility of using some of her $500 million to support her husband's presidential campaign, but Democratic and Republican legal experts say her options may be limited. Her wealth could significantly help Sen. John F. Kerry (Mass.) narrow the fundraising gap with President Bush, assuming Kerry secures the Democratic nomination. But it also could invite accusations that his campaign bent the spirit, if not the letter, of campaign finance reforms that Kerry supported, sources said. "Teresa has First Amendment rights to speak on issues just like anyone else, and she reserves her right to do that," Jeffrey R. Lewis, her chief of staff, said in an interview. "However, how and when and if she chooses to do that depends on future events and on the advice of her counsel." "All she has said is that in the event she is attacked, the family is attacked, and it is an issue of family honor, she would defend herself and she would defend her family," another Heinz aide said. ...contd. washingtonpost.com
