Gephardt. He used the phrase "took down" over and over... David Jones headed the "527" Pac "Americans for Jobs, Healthare and Progressive Values." This verifies what Dean supporters thought all along. Dean was polling high in every state but their polling showed that he "wasn't electable, and they and their supporters thought he wasn't progressive enough...so they "took him down." They were responsible for the Osama Ad's against Dean and the other ads which were so negative about Gun Control, Healthcare.

It's a classic example of "manipulation" by our own against us. We'll never know how far Dean could have gone if he had been allowed to go through the primaries, because this group "took him down." What's really disgusting is that we Democrats are now being told by the Party Ops that we need to move to the Right because of values, but the David Jones Pac "took out Dean" because (according to Jones) he was a "Moderate and not Progressive enough" for Kerry & Gephardt. Hypocracy!

Saw this on C-Span 2 this a.m. in a discussion: "Advocacy Groups and the 2004 Elections." If they repeat it, it's a MUST SEE for anyone here to show how the "political operatives" manipulated "US" Democrats in the Primary Season. Representatives from "Move On" and the "Media Fund" were there.
