t r u t h o u t - Kerry, Dean Making Noise on Campaign Trail

McCain Gives Nod to Kerry Campaign
By Andrew Miga
The Boston Herald
Monday 30 June 2003

WASHINGTON - GOP maverick Sen. John McCain, whose breezy straight-talking style ignited the 2000 White House race, predicts Sen. John Kerry could rekindle the same campaign magic this time around.
``He certainly can,'' McCain (R-Ariz.) said in a telephone interview with the Herald from Arizona.
``He's smart, he's tough and he's experienced. He has the capability.''
McCain, meanwhile, was skeptical that upstart Democrat Howard Dean, who considers himself the McCain of the 2004 race, could ultimately show wide political appeal.

Howard Dean announced yesterday that he had raised close to $9 million this year, establishing himself as a top-tier candidate in the Democratic presidential field. The figure stunned his rivals and transformed Dr. Dean from a maverick into a more traditional contender.

Much of the money was collected over the Internet, his aides said, leaving little doubt there are now ways to solicit contributions other than the telephone calls and elaborate fund-raisers that are the stock and trade for most mainstream candidates.

Dr. Dean's aides said he would report raising at least $6.2 million in the three-month period that ends at midnight, on top of $2.6 million he raised over the first three months of the year....

The other campaigns said yesterday that they would wait until the fund-raising period was over before releasing their results.

"He'll beat everybody," Steve Elmendorf, a senior adviser to Representative Richard A. Gephardt of Missouri, said of Dr. Dean.
