There is a story at BusinessWeek which details, blow-by-blow, inside campaign against Governor Dean. Find it here:

If John Kerry and John Edwards want the support of core "Deaniacs" then they are going to have to do a lot better than preaching Bush's message of supposedly "protecting traditional marriage" by enshrining discrimination for him. I almost popped my aorta when I heard Kerry say that he pretty much has the same position as Bush on gay marriage, ditto for John Edwards. Kucinich and Nader might find friendly ears if such stances continue to espoused by the Senator's John.
PS-Bravo to Kucinich for one helluva showing in the big H.I.
