I don't think the audience it paying attention to Mrs. Vilsack who just informed us that John Kerry "served two tours" in Vietnam.

Two things they are definitely "not looking back at" are Kerry's activities after he came home from Vietnam (it's almost like 30 years just disappeared) and Kerry's Senate voting record.

A few Dean comments:

Kerry "supports the kind of corrupt fund raising, politically corrupt fund raising mechanism, that George Bush has also employed,"

Dean said Kerry "hasn't accomplished much in the Senate," with only nine of the bills that he's sponsored being passed into law. His Saturday argument was that Kerry would be beholden to Washington interests instead of ordinary people.

"We are not going to beat George Bush by nominating somebody who is the hand maiden of the special interests," Dean said.

"We want our country back for ordinary people," he said. "We're not going to do that by nominating just another inside-the-beltway guy who's played the game for 15 years."
