Dean Alleges Dirty Attacks in IA - Sorry Dupe

[xultar]

DOVER, N.H. - Howard Dean (news - web sites) said Saturday he was surprised by the "under the table" campaigning he faced during the Iowa caucus and said the state needs to prevent such negative attacks if it wants to keep the nation's leadoff presidential vote.


Dean said his rivals "had their folks really beating up on the people who went in, trying to get them to change their minds in caucus."


"I think Iowa is going to have to change the way it conducts its caucuses if it wants to continue to be first," he told reporters in an interview on his campaign bus in New Hampshire.

I don't know. I don't think this is going to play very well.

4. The only shouting down of others at my caucus

came from the Dean supporters. There were two undecideds, and there was an opportunity for a supporter from the viables to give a speech. Dean supporters tried to interrupt and shout down the speaker for Kerry. While other supporters applauded the Dean speech (a professional Pol by the way), the Dean supporters did not applaud the speeches of the other groups.

So this feels pretty ironic to me.

5. That is very interesting, coming from someone who was taking part

in the caucuses. Thanks for stepping forward.
