Editorial: A tale of two very different candidates. (W & Dean in WI)
http://www.madison.com/captimes/opinion/editorial/58147.php

Two candidates for president have chosen opposite ends of this weekend to bring their very different campaigns to Wisconsin. In so doing they have provided voters with precisely the sort of contrast that makes politics interesting and meaningful.

The first candidate to visit was President George W. Bush, who swept into Milwaukee on Friday for a $2,000-a-plate fund-raiser that his aides hope will collect another $800,000 for a re-election campaign.

Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, who many now see as the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, will arrive in Madison this afternoon for a rally at 4 outside the Kohl Center.

The Dean rally is free and open to the public, and the candidate's backers are encouraging those who attend to bring donations of a canned good, nonperishable food or personal care item for the families of UFCW Local 538 members who have been on strike at the Tyson Foods plant in Jefferson County since Feb. 28.

The choice will be between two different visions of America's future: one of elites gathering behind closed doors to decide what they will do next to working families in places like Wisconsin, the other of citizens gathering out in the open to help those working families.

This would be the most distict choice the voter has had in some time. Any Dem candidate can co-opt this spirit, some with more honesty than others. I believe that Dean has already beat Bush for whoever wins the primary.

4. Go Dean!!!
Bush came to Wisconsin to collect money from corporate interests.

Dean comes to Wisconsin to help residents of this state who have been victimized by corporate interests.

5. This is WHY I love Dean!
We know he isn't a corporate whore and will put the best interest of the PEOPLE before the corporations.
