Dean Supporters: Latest Poll indicates Dean is electable

[CMT]

One of the things opponents seem to use against Dr. Dean (especially the DLC) is that he is not electable. Well we know that he is and really don't need a poll to prove it. But we do have it. In fact it is the latest CNN poll which has been heavily touted around here.

First, my hat off to Gen. Clark who is actually leading Bush according to this poll by 49-46. My hat off to our other candidates: Kerry, Gep, and (yes) even Lieberman who are also doing well in that poll.

But gang, Howard Dean is right in the thick of things too. Bush is ahead, but among registered voters the Bush margin is only three-points (49-46) a statistical dead heat. At three-points down we know Bush probably is ahead of Dean in the south and Dean is probably ahead of Bush everywhere else.

So while other candidate supporters can claim that they are doing well in the same poll--they cannot claim that Dean is unelectable. The only unelectable candidate as it is getting clear is George Worthless Bush.
