Right now, it takes some
kind of money to make it happen as Dean well knows since he
has raised a considerable amount.

Yes, and he's raised it from me and people like me, 88 dollars at a time. I am Dean's special interest, not the telecom industry.

Dean may carp at Kerry but in the end, in order to succeed,
he will have to do the same thing that Kerry does.

As I have said above, even the pundits who think Dean will lose admit that he has tapped a vast new source of clean funds, with no strings attached as with the special interests. Dean is thus the only candidate who will NOT have to do what John Kerry does.

My contention is for candidates to give up the attacks and stay
with the issues (...) Let Dean save his negative campaigning for Bush.

Kerry is as guilty as anyone. My favorite was his mock-outraged cry of "what were you thinking?" after Dean said that Osama Bin Laden should be tried if caught.

This was not controversial, we have laws that say that EVERYONE must be tried. We even tried the Nazis at Nuremburg. But when Kerry saw an opening, he jumped at it, trying to make Dean's position look bizarre.

Or how about these press release titles from Kerry's site:

"We knew Dean had secret files and a secret energy task force â€" now he has a secret tax plan?"

"Dean TV Ad on Enron...Isn't it ironic?"

"Dean Flip-Flops on Tax Cuts"

"Dean Flubs Another Foreign Policy Question, This Time on Israel."

Maybe Kerry should save HIS negative campaigning for Bush.
