An error in judgment? Some Democrats, probably didn't think so. But the oversight came home to roost when late last week a reporter asked Dean to cite his favorite book from the New Testament. His choice: the Old Testament's Job.
Dean continues to make gaffes on the campaign trail, all of which are monitored by spotters from the Kerry and Gephardt campaigns assigned to track their nemesis. "They are always there at out events that are public," says a Dean campaigner in Iowa. "You can spot them in a second in the back with a tape recorder or a camera. There is nothing we can do about it, but we make sure they don't talk to any of the public that is there to meet Governor Dean."
One of the bigger gaffes that will come back to haunt Dean is this remark, recently made on the road in Iowa: "Moral tone is a huge deal in the presidency." Apparently one of the bigger mounds of opposition research gathered by the Kerry campaign deals with Dean's relationship with drug companies over the years as a practicing physician. Newsweek is reporting that Dean on at least two occasions accepted speaking fees from a drug company as well as large amounts of campaign cash. "There is more out there," says a Kerry staffer. "As he talks more about his views on healthcare, you're going to see more of this stuff dribbling out."
