For the Republicans. As someone who has dealt with Karl Rove, I predict that someday we will learn that he helped sink Howard Dean in order to nominate the awful Kerry. Dean doesn't seem like a typical politician, and he differs with Bush on the war and such domestic totalitarianisms as Leave No Child Behind. He also showed himself capable of building a real grassroots movement. So, while mysterious millions were poured into Iowa against him, with the help of the state media, Dean was made to look crazy. Kerry, on the other hand, is the Yankee version of Sen. Foghorn, and he has no significant differences with Bush or warfare or welfare. Rove is also good at finding and leaking damaging info: the SUV, the medals, etc. Look for much more on Kerry, not to speak of the issue of his wife's tax returns. In the all-Skull & Bones election, look for the bonehead to beat the skull.
