Howard Dean is the Enforcer who will hold Bush accountable
Edited on Tue Aug-12-03 04:11 PM by Larkspur
from today's Boston Globe article reprinted on Commondreams.org Democrats Debate How to Hit Bush

<SNIP>
On the trail in New Hampshire, the sharpest contrast is, inevitably, between Dean and Senator Joseph Lieberman, who warns in speeches of the dangers of matching Bush's "extremism" with "extremes of our own."

Kristin Carvell, Lieberman's spokeswoman in New Hampshire, predicted that voters will turn on Bush without a lot of frothing rhetoric by Democrats.

But Joe Trippi, campaign manager for Dean, said, "You had the approach of silence for 2 1/2 years and look what happened."

Dean's appeal, Trippi said, isn't ideological: He's an enforcer who wants to hold Bush accountable for his right-wing positions. "You're going to have one tough, direct Democrat against one tough, direct Republican," he said. "It's a hell of a lot better than a tough, direct Bush against muted silence."


Edited to fix link.
Howard Dean will be the Federal Marshall who buts Bush in a cell in Crawford, TX.
