Dean a formidable foe
By Judy Keen, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — Republican Party officials and political advisers to President Bush admit that they underestimated Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean and say they now consider him a formidable potential adversary.

"There is something going on there, and I tell you, if we don't pay attention ... we're making a big mistake," says Tom Rath, a Republican strategist and Bush adviser in New Hampshire.

No top Republican Party, White House or Bush campaign official wanted to be identified talking about Dean, but he's as hot a topic inside the Bush camp as he is among his Democratic rivals.

How worried is the Bush team? One campaign official notes that Dean is renting lots of cars in Iowa — evidence that Bush supporters in the state are keeping an eye on him and his campaign spending.

1. Ok, and now they are going

to again paint him as McGovern II? Here is where
the traditional American Historical amnesia will work for us.

After all who thinnks that anybody born after oh, 1965 will
remember the '72 Election? Now an honest show of hands...


I usually bemoan that Americans do not know history, but
taking the McGovern tact I think will back fire on the rethugys.
It will also remind Americans of oh, Tricky Dick... :bounce:
