...candidacy of former Vermont Governor Howard Dean, Ben & Jerry's (the quintessential Vermont company) served up a limited-edition "Maple-Powered Howard" sundae last week.

The members of Bush the Elder's foreign policy team have expressed these very sentiments privately, and sometimes publicly. But Kerry has been criticized by Dean and Lieberman, and by much of the press, for seeming wishy-washy. The question is, Are the Democrats' qualms about Bush's foreign policy too technical, too complicated to work as a political issue? In a battle of bumper stickers, STRONG DEFENSE beats YOUR FAMILY IS SAFER IN A WORLD WHERE AMERICA...
