The Stop Dean Express Moves South
Democratic presidential hopeful and former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean smiles after getting the endorsement of U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Detroit, during a campaign stop in Detroit, Monday, Dec. 29, 2003, (AP) Email to friend
Howard Dean's rival candidates ganged up on the former Vermont governor yesterday, hoping to slow the momentum of the man marked as the Democratic front-runner. At a debate in Iowa, John Kerry questioned the doctor's reliability and electability. Joe Lieberman accused Dean of being less than honest in keeping his gubernatorial papers sealed. Dennis Kucinich badgered Dean to call on President Bush to pull troops immediately out of Iraq. And Dick Gephardt criticized his stand on Medicare.
The rivals know they have little chance of overtaking Dean. They are fighting to stake out the number two spot before the voting starts. After the first contests in Iowa and New Hampshire, the primary gauntlet will be so fast and furious that momentum will count for more than ever before.
