Democrats Dumb To Dump On Dean - Bill Press

BREAKING NEWS!

There is still a race for president of the United States underway. Contrary to what you see and hear in the media, the campaign for president has not been suspended until after completion of the California recall on Oct. 7.

But if, due to some satellite breakdown, you accidentally happen upon any coverage of the presidential campaign these days, be forewarned. What you see will not be pretty. It's a replay of the Donner Party: Democrats, about to enter the promised land, eating each other. And the one they're feasting on most is former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean.

The Democratic Leadership Council took the first bite. DLC Founder Al From, who recruited Bill Clinton to bring the Democratic Party back from ruin, warned that Dean belonged to the party's "McGovern-Mondale wing" and would repeat their sad history by winning only two states.

Indiana Senator Evan Bayh, DLC President, dismissed Dean's criticism of President Bush with the taunt: "Do we want to vent or to govern?" Connecticut's Joe Lieberman, last year's DLC President, called Dean "a ticket to nowhere." And, like rats following Pied Piper, most political pundits agree, insisting that Dean is simply too liberal to beat George W. Bush.

They are all dead wrong. They underestimate the anger that most Democrats, and a growing number of Americans, feel toward this administration. Besides, Dean is not the wild-eyed liberal they paint him to be. And he definitely has what it takes to beat George W. Bush.
