11/21 Here's the "Dean is a draft dodger" link. From the NYT: http://tinyurl.com/w3sa \_ i'm confused as to how this is ammunition for critics in a race against W. \_ Right now, Dean is in a race against Clark and Kerry, not Bush. \_ In the current climate, it's important to look strong on defense. Bush has shown this in his current term, whereas the Dems have to find some other way to show it. Dean as a governor doesn't have any national defense or foreign policy experience, so he could lean on a military record--if he had one. Frankly, I don't care much about what any of the candidates did 30 years ago (that is, unless they killed a woman in their car or something). \_ So you're not voting for Ted Kennedy, huh? \_ Personally, I don't see dodging the draft as all that big a deal, heck, my dad did it. It only bugs me when guys who have never served send troops into some fool place we have no reason to be in, like Somalia, but that bugs me regaudless. \_ Right, because W is such an exemplary example. no reason to be in, like Somalia. |

Correction: December 1, 2003, Monday Because of an editing error, an article on Nov.
