"New Hampshire Drag Race"
Howard Dean & John Kerry political cartoon.

July 2, 2003 … Looming question for the coming days: Will the bitter Dean-Kerry battle become bitterer as competition increases for coveted New Hampshire victory? Andrew Miga’s report in yesterday’s Boston Herald about Kerry camp’s reaction to Dean’s latest success: “Howard Dean, in a blow to bitter rival Sen. John F. Kerry, raced ahead of the Democratic presidential pack by raising more than $6.6 million over the past three months…Dean's surprise fund-raising surge jolted Kerry {D-Mass.}, with whom he is dueling in New Hampshire, a must-win primary for the Bay State senator. The Kerry camp had hoped to regain momentum this quarter after being edged for the money lead three months ago by Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.). ‘Howard Dean's money reminds observers that the top tier in this campaign can only be so big and this may mean that we are moving closer to a two-man race,’ said Kerry aide Kelley Benander. Kerry and Edwards are expected to raise about $5 million for the latest quarter, which ended yesterday.”
