[Vision2020] Gore to endorse Dean

[Ted Moffett]

Carl et. al.

Some think republicans are donating to Dean's campaign to help him get the 
dems nomination in the belief he will be a cinch for Bush to beat.  
Republican funding of ads to promote Nader in 2000 to undermine Gore was 
used as a tactic, so I don't doubt Dean may be getting Republican sourced 
funds.

However, I think Dean's "image" in the media comes across more forcefully, 
with a more commanding presence, than Dukakis's did.  And the large 
contingent of Bush haters will come out in force in 2004, so Dean v. Bush 
will not echo Dukakis's embarrassment.

But I doubt Dean can beat Bush.  In fact, I doubt any of the current dem. 
candidates will.

And the truth of what Dean represents?  Truth is meaningless: spin rules!

We have "the best democracy money can buy," as Greg Palast put it in his 
book of the same title.
