Howard Dean
Joe Klein makes an important and accurate observation about Howard Dean’s campaign, noting that he “has unlocked a fairly new and vibrant Democratic constituency that transcends his left-wing peacenik stereotype. It is young, middle class, white and wired.” “Dean has no idea how large this constituency is, but he knows it isn’t large enough to win the nomination.” (italics added)
Meanwhile, the AP previews Dean’s announcement speech today saying it’s “a call to disenchanted voters of all political stripes.”
Update: A Concord Monitor poll shows Dean slipping behind Sen. John Kerry in New Hampshire.”
