It should have been Dean.
All over New York City - and many other sure-thing Democratic locales - young volunteers are trying to register other volunteers. Their clipboards and t-shirts and classified newspaper ads do not say "Kerry '04." They say "Help Defeat Bush."
That's a problem for John Kerry, and it's a problem for the electorate. I support President George W. Bush and would vote for him regardless of his Democratic opponent. But as a Bush supporter - and as an American concerned with the well-being of his country - I'd much rather see the president challenged on his core beliefs and made to explain them by an opponent who holds opposite beliefs and doesn't run from them.
Instead, Kerry is determined to make this election solely a thumbs up or down on the current jobholder. In fact, Kerry's put so much distance between his candidacy and his legislative record - and has voted so seldom in the Senate - that it's easy to forget he's even a senator.

Dean's dead?
James Dean?
Dean Martin?
His campaign died with a feral screech.
Old Deans never die - they just shriek into the sunset...
Dean. Right, that would have helped.
Kerry keeps busy these days distancing himself
From himself!
Jimmy Dean?
The author completely misses a simple fact, so obvious it hurts.
Kerry is far more representative of the Democratic Party than Howard Dean. Democrats don't talk about "issues" they talk about "feelings". Its in every major "policy speech", which is never quite about "policy" but is always chock full of "feelings".
Yes, Dean would have talked about policy. And that scares the Democratic Party Leadership far more than a man named Bush in the Whitehouse at the end of the day.
Democrats understand that a valid debate contrasting "policy" would be its death knell. Hence, whenever "policy" is brought up you get "Halliburton" or "Bush was AWOL" or "Bush Knew"....anything but "policy".
Democrats want America to be an equal to every other country on the planet. Thats their policy, thats their misguided "goal" upon acheiving power once again.
But they don't dare say it. Not openly.
Phooey, eyespysomething, you beat me. ;)
I believe that position is taken.
I missed it.
I guess this is proof that democrats are smarter than Republicans. They have a superior command of the language.
