Dean Campaign Responds to Washington Tag Team [View All]

From Tricia Enright, Communications Director for Governor Dean:

"Today's New York Times story, '2 Dean Rivals Unite Against Mutual Threat', uncovers the desperate tactics of the Gephardt-Kerry Washington tag team. It's no secret that campaigns talk to each other, but these coordinated attacks from Washington insiders cross the line. While their attitude is 'the more the merrier' when it comes to trying to tear down Howard Dean and his grassroots campaign, we understand that the American people are tired of this kind of politics. If these guys hope to beat George Bush, they're going to have to stand for something and not just against Governor Dean.

"We certainly expect the Gephardt-Kerry Washington tag team to attempt to justify themselves. Hopefully they'll get together and tell the American people something about what they stand for and not just who they're against."
