Is time running out for rivals to catch former Vt. governor? MSNBC
Oct. 31 — This installment of Demo Derby takes urgent note of the calendar: Halloween is here, Thanksgiving is upon us in a few weeks, then we have the Christmas holiday season, so voters’ minds will be distracted for some time. What’s more important on Dec. 20, Howard Dean’s stand on Medicare or that gift you still haven’t bought for your spouse? The Iowa caucuses take place a little over three weeks after Christmas.
DEMO DERBY front-runner Dean is maintaining his lead in New Hampshire polls and running just about even with Missouri Rep. Dick Gephardt in Iowa.
Given “Time’s winged chariot hurrying near,” isn’t perhaps time running out for Dean’s rivals to inflict damage on him?
