Servicing Dean
As witnessed by Bill Clinton, Howie Dean wins secret union adulation. Plus: A $35 million Democratic solution. Also: Kerry’s egg hunters.

AN OPPO EGG HUNT br> Sen. John Kerry 's campaign can claim all they want that they don't have an opposition research team working on Howie Dean , even if Dean is now admitting to having retained Gov. Gray Davis 's crack opposition research guru as his own. /p>But Kerry's recent comments, and news releases from the Kerry campaign, would indicate that his people have been doing quite a bit of Dean-related dirt digging. When Dean recently attempted to ingratiate himself with farmers in Iowa, Kerry's folks shot back that Dean was no friend to family farmers, and had the evidence to back it up.
Seems Dean, as governor of Vermont, allowed a large Canadian egg producer to move into his state, forcing a number of family farmers to go under.
"It wasn't the kind of thing they could have simply pulled out of a clip file," says a Dean staffer. "They clearly have had an opposition research team working on us. Why they won't admit it is beyond me."
