DEAN, BUT NOT OUT
..It looks like John Kerry will also win New Hampshire because of his surprise showing in the Iowa caucuses. Although polls show Howard Dean's numbers slipping badly after his horrendous speech after coming in third in Iowa, don't count him out just yet. It's still a long way to go before the process of choosing a Democratic candidate to beat Bush is chosen. Dean needs to town down his rhetoric and focus instead about his passion to solve domestic problems like the budget deficit, health care and deferrence to civil unions regarding the marriage issue. He needs to give passing attention to Iraq since the bad news coming there everyday speaks for itself. Focus instead is needed in how to differentiate himself regarding domestic issues as oppose to Kerry and Edwards. Remember that both opponents have been in the Senate for a long time and have been complicit in the bad bills passed by Congress that favor special interests and hurt ordinary Americans. Governor Dean needs to be creative in his policy speeches and change his advertisements that are too "Iraq-centric".
