Republican mischief in NH
It's been said time and time again that the republicans wet dream candidate is Howard Dean. Could republican leaning independents try to do some mischief in NH and vote for him to prop up his campaign?

3. the same accusation has been made that
repubs vote for Kerry because he is their ideal candidate. Both accusations are crap. They won't be happy Dean was the nominee once he wipes the floor with them.

4. Would it really make a difference
It would take quite a few Bush die-hards to trot out in the snow to vote for a candidate.

I don't think it will make too much of a difference overall.

5. NH Republicans never liked Bush in the first place
Why do you think they wanted McCain? If Gore hadn't been perceived as anti-gun he would have won NH.

NH Republican leaning Independents want someone other than Bush who they don't fear on the gun issue and who will balance the budget. Howard Dean fits that bill just fine. Sorry, but they'll vote for him because they like him.

6. Maybe. On the other hand the jerks on TV with their incessant
repetition of Dean's rally scenes in Iowa may have gotten NH voters annoyed enough to get them to vote for the Doc.

And wouldn't that be fine?

Imagine Dean winning after all, thanks to all the efforts of the pundits and talking heads to write him off by showing that yell over and over and over and over and over and

YYYEEEEAAARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

7. They want you to believe Dean is the one they want
but Dean is their worst nightmare.

He has real experience

He creates energy

He knows his issues inside out

He rallies new voters

He is real and Americans know the real thing


Dean is Karl Rove's worst nightmare.
