How's Bush going to turn out his base now?

[The Duke]

I hear a lot of people complaining about Howard Dean, but what I've not heard is a single person question his character. When I look him in the face I don't see someone I would think of as being involved, for example, in the murder of others for political purposes - which elevates him in my esteem FAR above such rifraff as the previous occupants of the White House.

So, I find my self wondering if the Democrats are complaining about Dean because he's perhaps not sufficiently corrupt, and the Republicans complaining because perhaps he's the most electable(??)

[George W. Bush]

Despite some factual misstatements and a misspelling or two, this isn't too bad for amateur analysis.

The writer underestimates Dean. Just like Clinton was widely underestimated when he ran against Spook Daddy.

Montpelier, Vermont--Comrades at the "Dean for America" headquarters load up the latest campaign literature for delivery.

This article really got me thinking... What DOES Dean offer? Then I wondered - What does Bush offer?

I've made a handy chart which illustrates...

 What the Candidates Have to Offer

GEORGE W BUSH	HOWARD DEAN
War in Iraq	No War in Iraq
Previously endorsed by NRA	"A" rating from NRA
Abortion is legal under Bush	Abortion would be legal under Dean
Pro “War on Drugs”	Pro “War on Drugs”
Signed massive Medicare entitlement into law	Supports universal health care
Signed campaign finance reform into law	Supports campaign finance reform
Conservative judges are blocked	Conservative judges won't be nominated
Cut taxes twice as president	Cut taxes thrice as governor
15 Billion Funding to Fight AIDS in Africa	Pledged 30 Billion to fight international AIDS
Supports USA PATRIOT Act	Opposes USA PATRIOT Act
Democrat Authored education bill	Democrat authored education bill
Affirmative Action	Affirmative Action
Lame weak-willed GOP	Possible strong GOP opposition
Constitution largely ignored under Bush	Constitution will be largely ignored under Dean

Anyone may feel free to copy and distribute the chart, if they wish...

"WHAT HOWARD DEAN HAS TO OFFER"

NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

Big smile on my face at the prospect of Dean in the fall. Let's just hope he doesn't disintegrate before the primaries are over.
