actually intruding on the selection process for the Democratic nominee, but they have no interest in going after Kerry.

God knows we need the Republicans help here, but I still find that fact fascinating.

1. there are still
many months before the GE. Im sure the Club will attack the nominee before then. Dont you? Dean was attacked because most people already thought him to be the nominee, well that was before people began voting.

the question is, why did they target Dean during the primary...
They must like a Kerry nomination, or they would be attacking him now.

2. They thought the more you attack Dean
the stronger he would get. The problem is that Dean is so flawed, he was going to crash.

3. It was all...............
a ( successful) well orchestrated effort to topple Dean as the front runner. I doubt that you'll see the same effort made to unravel the campaign of the chosen, establishment approved campaign of Kerry.

8. I'm sure they wanted to marginalize Dean, he was the
most outspoken against the administration. I don't know what is so difficult to understand about that.

They have plenty of time to go after Kerry and they will.
