a much better chance of beating Bush than John Kerry? Because Kerry will be tarred and feathered by the Republicans if he is the nominee. Kerry is a guy who puts effort into his image and little into accomplishments. Check out the article by Howie Carr, who has covered Kerry for 25 years and is a columnist from Kerry's home town of Boston. Why nominate a guy who has a poor record that the Bush campaign can slice and dice? It defies common sense.

Dean has an excellent record of accomplishments and has shown his character throughout. Dean had the courage of his convictions to speak out against the war when Kerry and other Democrats kept silent. Dean has experience setting up a health care program for his Vermont residents. Dean deserves our support. He is real and he will make a very good president.

We can only hope the Democrats have the smarts to nominate Dean in this Saturday's Washington state caucus meetings. Dean will garner votes from Independents and even moderate and conservative Republicans. Kerry will be just another Democratic Party machine puppet who will turn off the Independents.
