News from the Campaign Trail

Senator Kerry and Howard Dean are now dead locked in a newly released poll in New Hampshire. Link. Speaking of Dean, Senator Kerry distinguished himself from Dean yesterday on the campaign trail. Kerry said he would not repeal the Bush tax cuts on the middle class and poor. Mr. Dean said he would. Link.

In the article, Mr. Dean is quoted as saying: "(Kerry) is basically telling you something that can't be done," Dean said. "You can't fund special education, pay for health care and start to balance the budget again unless you do roll back all the tax cuts."

Sounds like Walter Mondale's 1984 statement: "Mr. Reagan will raise taxes, and so will I," he said. "He won't tell you, I just did."

Democrats will have to decide if Dean's tax increase pledge will be a winner in the fall.

It is a choice we can make. We can beat Bush, but we need a centrist candidate to do it. Read More.
