No point in Repubs attacking the Dem front runner
I apologize to the author, but there was an article awhile ago that said instead of Dean finding the internet and the internet crowd, the internet and the internet crowd found Dean.

Lets extrapolate that point just a little: there is a huge "anybody but Bush" crowd and we're the educated, motivated bunch. Educated in the sense that we are paying attention. Even the mildly paying attention crowd is not going for Bush if his re-elect numbers are at 29%.

So, if they destroy contestant number 1, there will be another to fill the "anybody-but-Bush" slot. In other words, they have to contain us, not the candidate. I think they tried to attack us with the fringe label of "Bush haters", but attacking us won't work either.

1. The Repukes don't need to attack, the Dems are doing it for them
Thanks to Holy Joe and now it looks like Kerry has joined the bandwagon. Kerry was my top for a while, then he was tied with Dean, then Kerry was second, and now after his comments today he's running neck and neck (in my book) with Holy Joe for last place.

3. Dean attacked Kerry starting on Jan.23. He threw the
first twenty punches. NOW that Kerry is reciprocating he's a bad guy?

Was Dean doing the work of the Repubs back early on when he was attacking the others?

Dean said the others couldn't win because they were not governors and had no executive experience. Kerry points out that Dean has no foreign policy experience and can't win without it. Um...what's the difference? Why is one more right than the other?
