Republicans increasingly wary about a close presidential

[Nicholas_J]

Republicans talk confidently of re-electing President Bush for another four years, but some are increasingly wary they could face a close contest this fall now that the Democratic race has been turned upside down.

John Kerry, a fourth-term U.S. senator from Massachusetts, has replaced former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean in the front-runner slot among Democrats after winning the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary.

While Republicans relish the chance to pick apart two decades of Kerry's congressional votes, they were absolutely salivating at the prospect of running against Dean, who many thought could be more easily outflanked.

Republicans feel Kerry is a veteran politician who can avoid the obvious mistakes of a political newcomer and they're very aware he is a decorated Vietnam war hero running in a time of war.

While there are arguments on DU as to who is the most likely cndidate to beat Bush, the news from Wahington is that they are worried about a Kerry nomination, and still salivating over the tought of a Dean nomination.
