1. Dean's gun views attacked - WP
LBN thread about it

(snip)

Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy (D-R.I.) scolded Democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean for his friendly relations with the National Rifle Association during a Capitol Hill rally last week to drum up support for renewal -- and strengthening -- of the federal ban on assault weapons.

While other speakers stuck to the subject of assault weapons, Kennedy assailed Dean, saying he was "saddened" that one of his party's leading presidential candidates is "pro-NRA." He suggested that Dean has "compromised his principles" as a physician by opposing stronger federal gun controls.

Kennedy has endorsed Rep. Richard A. Gephardt (Mo.) and campaigned on his behalf. But Kennedy told a reporter after his remarks that he had not discussed with Gephardt his plans to attack Dean on gun control.

"This is a personal issue with me, and I'm very disturbed at the fact that people are not paying attention to Dr. Dean's record" on guns, said Kennedy, nephew of President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert, both of whom were assassinated by guns.

2. Dean has a great set of priorities... a winning formula...
his states' right position on gun control could be all the difference in getting Arizona and Nevada into the DEM column in 04 as well as states like Indiana and Ohio. It could shore up battleground states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and lesser battleground states such as OR, WI, IA, and MO. People bitch about how 'unelectable' Dean is and then when they see something that makes him so obviously electable they bitch about it.
