An Antiwar Activist Known for Being Committed Yet ErraticBy JAMES DAO Published: March 12, 2004 TAKOMA PARK, Md., March 11 — Susan P. Lindauer wore her liberal politics on her sleeve, as well as on her aging Mazda, where bumper stickers proclaimed her unabashed opposition to the Iraq conflict. "Peace in Iraq through change at home," one said. "War is not the answer," another said. To her neighbors — who described her as gentle if somewhat lonely — Ms. Lindauer was typical of this left-leaning enclave on the northern doorstep of Washington, a place fondly known by its residents as...

<p>CAROL Mosley Braun's withdrawal from the presidential race was no surprise — she was never a bona fide contender. A political insider tells us, "Braun was insinuated into the campaign by Donna Brazile, Al Gore's campaign manager, to diffuse Al Sharpton's appeal to minorities. And it worked." Braun, who was defeated for re-election after one term in the U.S. Senate, has endorsed Howard Dean. If Dean wins, she'll be expecting a job.</p>

FORT DODGE, Iowa (AP) -- Carol Moseley Braun plans to end her White House bid Thursday, leaving an all-male field for the presidency and giving her support to Democratic front-runner Howard Dean. Braun was to officially endorse the former Vermont governor Thursday afternoon during an appearance at Carroll High School in Carroll, Iowa, said Dean campaign manager Joe Trippi. Dean said Wednesday that he welcomed the endorsement of the former senator from Illinois. "She's a principled person. We just hit it off. I like her a lot," Dean told reporters at a hotel in Fort Dodge, where he was spending...

FORT DODGE, Iowa, Jan. 14 — Former ambassador Carol Moseley Braun plans to drop out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination and endorse Howard Dean on Thursday, giving him an important symbolic boost just four days before Iowa's leadoff caucuses, Dean campaign aides said on Wednesday. Ms. Braun, a former senator from Illinois and ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa, had failed to garner much money or support in polls, but had distinguished herself with eloquent performances in several nationally televised debates. She and Dr. Dean, the former governor of Vermont, had developed a mutually respectful relationship throughout...

The day after Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich took ABC debate moderator Ted Koppel to task for avoiding questions that would be useful to voters in favor of questions about endorsements, money, and polls, ABC pulled its fulltime "embedded" reporter from the Kucinich campaign, a reporter who had been given no warning that such a move was coming and who had discussed at length yesterday with the Kucinich campaign staff her plans and her needs for the coming months. ABC has reportedly also pulled its reporters from covering the presidential campaigns of Rev. Al Sharpton and Ambassador Carol Mosley-Braun. This appears...

<p>Q: Aside from being a woman, how do you differentiate yourself from the other contenders?</p> <p>A: Let me count the ways. I'm the most qualified of all the candidates in terms of the range and breadth of my experience in government. I'm the only one with diplomatic experience. And I'm one of the few with both state and national electoral experience.</p>

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 — Their nearly weekly debates have been the biggest events of the season for the Democratic presidential candidates. They build their travel schedules around the televised encounters. Their aides devote hours to coming up with catchy retorts. And the forums draw more press coverage than anything else the candidates do. Even so, many of the top candidates and their aides are at their wits' end over the televised jousts. Some openly contend that the events are simply a waste of time. "I think the crowded field allows the most shrill, conflict-oriented, confrontational voices to be heard," Senator...

Dennis Miller explains why Democrats have no chance in 2004 election..."Hey, get this...I thought we'd talk about the nine Democrats running for the Presidency...I wanna get this commentary in now before this 'uber nuchtet' quickly goes the way of the Tucker. You know, the good thing about an empty headed scrum is that nobody can actually suffer brain damage if they get kicked in the melon. And trust me, when these guys get together it's like a Pez dispenser seance. Al Sharpton's ramblings have now taken him so far afield somebody better install on ONSTAR button in the middle of...
