-So Far- Seems to have no Achilles' Heel (USA Today)
Blessed with money and momentum, Howard Dean has become a modern-day
Achilles dominating the Democratic presidential race. His increasingly
desperate rivals are certain that Dean has a hidden weakness. But
like the destined-for-defeat Trojans on the Homeric battlefields,
they can't seem to find it. |

Wonder Howard Dean Is so Angry (BusinessWeek)
Howard Dean is testy. Doesn't play well with others. Has a chip
of Vermont granite on the shoulder of his buttoned-down shirt. Is
too negative. Acts like an angry short guy. Doesn't have the temperament
to be President.
That's the rap that Republicans and, more viciously, Stop-Dean Democrats
want to pin on Dr. Populist. Trying to peg him as an opponent of
Medicare fell flat. And efforts to tar him as insensitive at best
and racist at worst for suggesting that the Democratic Party reach
out to poor white Southerners who fly the Confederate flag doesn't
seem to have changed many minds. In fact, it may have backfired
among the pickup-truck bubbas and rebel-yellers who recognize that
someone besides Republicans might actually be paying attention to
them. |

Dean
leads in all aspects of Campaign Contribution History
In all the year-to-date total is over 233,5000 donors and the total
is $25.4 million.
Some 201,000 contributions were made to the Dean campaign in the third
quarter and 70 percent of those giving were first-time donors. The
average contribution was $73.69 (online $61.14; offline $86.76).
Also of note, in the last 10 days of the quarter, the campaign raised
$5 million. In all, the Dean campaign has over $12 million on hand.
Where is the money going? They now have 13 state directors and have
been on the air in most early primary states (eight of nine total).
The campaign has also ramped up staff sizes in Iowa and New Hampshire,
and unlike most campaigns, the candidate is flying on a chartered
plane. As for the burn rate, Campaign Manager Joe Trippi said he was
not worried. However, he also pointed out the campaign would qualify
for at least $19 million in matching funds should they go that route.
Some color: The final FEC report from the campaign will be more than
six feet tall. A picture can be seen on blogforamerica.com. |

Media
realizes: Dean is the emerging the Champion
"All year, Howard Dean has been gaining ground in the Democratic
presidential race. And all year, Democratic centrists have been scrambling
for a candidate to stop him. He's too liberal, they said. He's soft
on defense, a Vermont lefty, an evangelist for expansive programs.
To stop him, they turned to Joe Lieberman, then John Kerry, then Wes
Clark. But the more Dean's rivals expose his record, the more I suspect
that the centrist who's going to spare Democrats this left-wing nightmare
isn't any of these guys. It's Howard Dean. . ." |
