Kerry and Russert are bobbing and weaving on MTP right now. Any Dean supporters that thought Russert gave Dean an overly hard time should be watching now — he’s being as hard on Kerry. But each time Kerry answers, Russert comes back with a question along the lines of, “But Howard Dean…” It’s driving Kerry…

Matthew Yglesias remarked on the Dean flip-flopping meme earlier today, and there’s a good thread in the comments about how (if) this hurts Dean. Check it out.

I’m more than willing to put up with the endless jibes from co-workers who live in Chicago — Naperville, they claim, might as well be in Iowa for its distance from Chicago. (It’s 33 miles away if you must know.) But if you’re raising a family, I can’t really imagine that there’s a better place…

Glenn Reynolds (aka Instapundit) is started to take Dean seriously, and notes that many on the right think Dean will get the nomination and “could give Bush a tough ride in the election.” From the same post, Reynolds links to OxBlog, a conservative blogger who calls the NY Times out on its overly slanted portrayal…

Dean has also taken from Gephardt’s standing, and from the undecideds. His support is really across the board … both Congressional districts, men…
