from
the Iowa Daily Report
January
2003
The New York
Port’s Deborah Orin reports that SHARPTON’s “rivals
embraced the driving force behind the Tawana Brawley hoax as
an equal aspirant to the Oval Office (at the NARAL pro-choice
dinner)…Both former Vermont Gov. Howard DEAN and Sen. John
KERRY of Massachusetts claimed SHARPTON had offered them the
vice presidency.” Orin also reports, “ ‘If SHARPTON does
well, it’s going to be hard to deny him a place at the
podium at the Democratic convention – in prime time,’
frets a party strategist already worrying about how heartland
America will react.” (Inside politics, The Washington Times,
1/24)
“Democratic
divisions weaken party in Iraq debate…KERRY says his war
vote won’t muzzle him: He blasts Bush’s ‘clumsy’ and
‘inadequate diplomacy.’ With 2004 rivals GEPHARDT,
LIEBERMAN and EDWARDS also war backers, students are
‘flocking’ to former Vermont Gov. DEAN’s side in Iowa
and New Hampshire, says an unaffiliated party strategist.”
(Washington Wire, The Wall Street Journal, 1/31)
On the
campaign finance front, “A few of the Democratic
presidential hopefuls offered a look at their fundraising.
Among them, Massachusetts Sen. John KERRY reported $3 million
in his presidential fund as of Dec. 31, about $2.6 million of
it from his Senate campaign. (Former) Vermont Gov. Howard DEAN
had about $157,000 on hand as the year began.” (AP, 1/31)
