Bush's Campaign Chairman Visits Vermont

[Khephra]

MONTPELIER, Vt. -- Filing the paperwork to get a candidate on a state's ballot doesn't usually raise eyebrows, but it did Wednesday when the national chairman of President Bush's re-election campaign arrived in the capital of Vermont to do just that.

The state is, after all, the home of Howard Dean, its former governor and leader of the pack of Democrats vying to challenge Bush in November.

Dean's campaign manager, Joe Trippi, said Bush's campaign must be spooked if it sent Marc Racicot all the way to Vermont for a routine filing job.

"With the hundred million dollars that President Bush's campaign has to spend on staff, it's amazing that they couldn't find someone other than the chairman of the entire campaign to come to Vermont to file for the ballot," Trippi said, referring to Bush's multimillion-dollar campaign war chest.
