Biggest Issue: Unseating the Current Prez

FORMER Vermont Gov. Howard Dean breezed into Philadelphia on a surge of national support yesterday, drawing more than 3,000 supporters to an Independence Mall rally that nearly upstaged a forum of seven Democratic contenders.

"You're how we're going to win," Dean told his cheering supporters. "When we send you stuff, you send it to your e-mail list. A hundred people on everybody's email list here, that's four hundred thousand people!"

Mayor Street appeared at the Dean event, saying, "I'm proud to be at a Howard Dean rally, because everything I've heard him say tells me he gets it."

The Dean momentum carried over to the forum at the Constitution Center a block away, where the chanting of hundreds of his supporters could be heard inside as the event got under way.
