Almost Time to Decide

Hard-Headed Howard:
Dean can win, with a little tough love


This William Saletan article is a pretty good statement of what Dean needs to change if he wants to win. While his argument that the Bush tax plan effectively raised taxes on middle class folks has merit, he's not going to win a general election trying to sell that in the face of Bush and Rove. He needs to admit defeat on this one and join the rest of his fellow Democratic candidates in calling for keeping the middle class tax brackets the same as they are post-Bush while returning the higher brackets to their pre-Bush levels. Raising taxes on the middle class, however sensible, won't win the election.
