Repuke ammo against Dean

[The Blue Flower]

Forgive me if this has already been discussed. I only just heard it last night. Someone whose political judgement I respect said that one of the reasons the r's want Dean as the Democratic candidate is that it will be easy to shoot him down over his work at Planned Parenthood. How? By characterizing him as an abortionist, even though the record shows that that PP office didn't do abortions during Dean's term there. As the person last night said, "No one--but no one--will put an abortionist in the White House." This particular weapon won't be used in the run-up to the convention. It will only happen once he becomes the Demo candidate. If there is truth in what this person said, the Dean campaign must get this issue out on the table right away to neutralize it. It is the single most divisive issue in the US. I believe Dean can neutralize it and turn it into a discussion about the need for compassion and positive action to prevent abortions. But it must be on the table before the convention.
