John Kerry doesn't get it. Attacking Howard Dean won't drive Dean's supporters away-- everybody knows what Dean is about, which is why the people who support him support him. His position on gun control is well known, and a lot less ambiguous than Kerry's. Attacking Dean makes Kerry look bad, because it makes it clear that Kerry is more interested in getting the nomination than seeing Bush fail of reelection. Most Dean supporters see Dean as the candidate most likely to beat Bush-- because we believe that his stand on the issues represents a clear choice. Most of us thought that Gore was a clear alternative, too, but stupid Gore didn't think that that was the way to win, and tried to blur his differences. He was abetted in this by his running mate, who turned the Vice Presidential debate into a fawning wet face contest. This won't happen if Dean gets the nomination, which is starting to look more and more probable.
