A Low Front

Submitted by Ted Jastrzembski on Tue, 01/20/2004 - 01:00.

Dean's Iowa Storm came rolling back into New Hampshire as just a weakened low front. We were joking that he probably wished he had pulled a Lieberman and stayed in NH.
So what are some of the Dean leaners in Dean country saying? "Electability" is on everyone's mind. Several of the true leaners are now headed elsewhere--spooked by a combination of the perception of a large well-funded organization unable to deliver votes when it counted and a candidate who is not as well disciplined on the stump. Several commented specifically about the locker room style speech Dean delivered to his young swarm of supporters in Iowa. It translates into an eroding confidence in electability. Others I spoke to were unbowed in their commitment to Dean, referring to Clinton's early campaign bumps, and vowing to remain focused and to redouble their efforts. This next week in NH will determine whether Dean and his swarm can evolve his image from firebrand to electable presidential material.
