This is the moneyman. President Clinton had also endorsed Grossman in MA, whose candidacy never got out from under the shadows of the others in the Dem primary.



MONTPELIER, Vt. Nov. 12 — Democratic Gov. Howard Dean signed up a veteran party activist Monday to help him raise money for his expected run for president.

Like perhaps most readers of this site, I'm not a fan of the Bush Administration. Last year I devoted a goodly portion of my life to ousting it, including a trip to freezing cold Cedar Rapids and Waterloo, Iowa, where I canvassed for the Dean Campaign in the runup to the caucuses. I admit that I lost faith in the Dean movement after that, and I floundered around a bit in trying to figure out who to support, eventually setting upon Johnny Sunshine Edwards (or was it Clark?). I have never been a big fan of John Kerry, to say the least. It's tempting to fall into cynical sniping, which I myself have done at times. But I find it dispiriting and ultimately corro
