"The gap between Bush and Dean has grown markedly tighter in recent weeks"
Good looking trend to me!

While Bush still leads in the polls against every one of the Democratic candidates, the gap between Bush and Dean has grown markedly tighter in recent weeks, from a 14 percent gap (52 percent vs. 38 percent) at the end of September, to a 6 percent gap (49 percent vs. 43 percent) in the latest poll. Clark fares identically against Bush, with a 6 percent gap (49 percent vs. 43 percent), while Lieberman, Kerry and Gephardt have slightly wider gaps (7, 8 and 9 percent, respectively).

8. Other candidates, too
Dean's my guy. (I just wrote three more letters to Iowans for him.) But we shouldn't overlook that others are doing well, too. Bush is toast! :bounce:

9. Exactly...
...every one of our "top-tier" candidates is closing on Bush and garnering respect and support across the electorate. That's great news for us, regardless the eventual nominee.

11. Yes
It's not like we have one viable candidate, and the rest are pretenders. We have several good options.
