The Difference Between Howard Dean and George W. Bush
(Besides brains, heart and conscience):

http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2004/02/02/dean_interview/index1.html

"...I'm not going to blame Joe Trippi. One thing about this campaign stuff and Joe Trippi and all that: I do not blame him for one thing that went wrong in the campaign. The reason is, actually what drove Joe crazy, is I want to know everything, and I want everything explained to me, and I sign off on all the final decisions. I have not one piece of ill will about spending too much money. I OK'd every major strategic decision and you can put the blame at my feet for anything going wrong."

1. That's classy
I'm happy to see that Trippi and Dean are keeping their stories straight, despite the media's wish to paint this as some kind of irreconciable split.

2. More snips from the article...
"Will you win any of the Feb. 3 states?:

I don't know. We have a shot at New Mexico. What we're trying to do is get 15 percent in every state so we can get delegates out of every state. We'll do reasonably well in Arizona, I think. We have a shot in South Carolina -- that's really being contested heavily. New Mexico is our best chance to win one. North Dakota, I think we'll probably finish in the top three, but I can't be positive.

Won't your campaign be crippled if you don't win at least one of those states?:

No, because as I've said we've raised $3.2 million, which I suspect is more than anybody else since Iowa. We're just trying to get the ship righted so we can keep going.

What is your goal at this point? A brokered convention?:

My aim is to win, and to change this country. I have no idea what's going to happen. I just try to do things one state at a time, and try to do as well as we can in every state."





Howard Dean will not go down without a fight, that is why I support him.
