Dean plays hardball, but still this stuff is lame compared to the '92, '88 and even '84 when people thought Gary Hart was going to fight Water Mondale.

Man, I am LOVING THIS!!! I only wish I could have somehow gotten "in on this action" of bashing democrats. I would gladly write the scripts for them since they are oh so willing to read them.

To the Democrats, Kucinich has to be looking better and better all the time. Glad I am not one of they.

**Exclusive** In 1996 Senator John Kerry proposed to "get rid of the Agriculture Department," the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal. A move -- that if successful -- would have likely have resulted in massive subsidies and cuts for Iowa's Farmers. "I think we can reduce the size of Washington," Kerry said on January 6, 1996. "Get rid of the Energy Department. Get rid of the Agriculture Department, or at least render it three-quarters the size it is today; there are more agriculture bureaucrats than there are farmers in this country"...

Clearly the campaigns have saved their juciest tidbits for a last-minute attack just before the voting in the heavily-agricultural Iowa.
