...charm that attracts many Americans to President George W. Bush. If the Dems are looking for a clear alternative to Bush, is Dean the right guy? A question to ponder before voting this primary season: Is it more important to teach Bush and the Republicans a lesson or to elect someone who is willing to work with people from both sides of the aisle to keep America moving forward? Bob August Nashville, U.S. It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Cow Europe has been able to live with and protect itself against mad-cow disease, which seems to be manageable...
Even if the Dean faithful are forced to disperse, one thing is clear for now: they couldn't elect him just on their own. Only about 600,000 people have signed up at the campaign's website.

Speaking of Dean, you asked if the country is "willing to elect a Brahmin who grew up in East Hampton, N.Y., and on Park Avenue, who brings virtually no national-security experience to a post-9/11 nation." I ask if the country is willing to re-elect Bush, a Brahmin who grew up the son of a rich politician with a summer estate in Maine; who had no national-security experience when he entered office; who has effectively turned much of the world against the U.S. since 9/11. I'd take the Brahmin doctor, who I believe genuinely wants...
