Howard Dean:

I think electability's a real issue for him. He appears to change his mind so often. '[Y]ou saw it with No Child Left Behind, you saw it with the war, you see it with special interests, which I think is terribly damaging. It appears that his word is no good.'

(Adam Nagourney, For Kerry And Edwards, Sharp Exchanges Reflect A Crucial Day Of Voting,) The New York Times, 2/3/04

Just as all I needed to know about Clinton was a Time Magazine photo of him sporting an Afro as a college student, all I need to know about Kerry was a Time Magazine photo of him hugging Big Head Ted. Study the photos.

If Dean is active on the campaign, I would expect this quote to make it into a Bush ad.

I just love it when RATS stumble over their own tongues. I can't wait for this to come back to haunt Kerry in the months ahead.

Anyone that is irrational enough to still associate themselves with Howard "Sybil" Dean has no business running for President. This guy is a total nutball. Sure, his statements about Kerry are correct, but what is he trying to accomplish? Dean needs to see a real doctor that isn't afraid of putting him on a rigid vitamin, scheduled bowl movement, and electroshock therapy program.

This is how Hillary has been so brilliant. Behind the scenes, she has the ability to destroy Kerry. He could pull out for "medical reasons" and cite his previous bout with prostate cancer. THERE ARE NO NEGATIVE SOUNDBITES ABOUT THE WITCH FROM FELLOW RATS. She could run a short campaign and win it. She could actually even force him out after the convention. Oh, people say that would not be allowed? Since when have the RATS, and particularly the Clintons, ever been stopped by legalities?

It appears that in their own way that some Democrats are trying to reach across and make amends and try to pull this country together and win the WOT and job/production problems that the U.S. is having. The problems that are keeping the U.S. apart is the core Democrats and their media. Only my observation recently.

"'It appears that his word is no good.'"

Well, isn't that the pot calling the kettle YYYEEAGHHHH!

I think you're right. Hillary's got a pass from a costly campaign. All she's got to do is sit back and watch Kerry implode, and she'll walk right into office. Hizzonor is ready to help her. He'd like to be in the White House again. IF Kerry doesn't implode, Bill and Hillary will do it for him. RATS will eat their own in a heartbeat.
