Missteps Pulled A Surging Dean Back to Earth

Article Abstract:

Various political experts believe Howard Dean's front-runner status as the leading Democratic presidential candidate before the Iowa caucuses disappeared because of flawed campaign strategies . Dean focused on his commitment to changing the country and asserted his objection to the Iraq war as proof of his leadership. Dean could not overcome his inability to let voters get to know him as a human being and his emphasis on his political agenda. He also failed to deal with politically damaging events, such as his refusal to reveal his gubernatorial records, his misunderstood empathy with racist voters in the South, and a 2000 videotape that criticized the Iowa caucuses.

Whoever Is Chosen, Democrats Spoil for a Fight

Article Abstract:

The Democratic presidential candidates enter a new phase of their battle for the Democratic nomination for president. John Kerry is the apparent front-runner. Howard Dean is now in the position of trying to catch up. Regardless of what happens, the Democrats have an important opportunity to exploit voter dissatisfaction with the Iraqi war, economic disappointments, and other domestic policies that have failed.
