Iraq, Domestic Policy and Gore’s Endorsement of Dean
in New Hampshire
The final democratic presidential debate of the year drew
all nine candidates in New Hampshire last night where the
first primary takes place on Jan. 27, 2004.
The debate got underway just hours after former vice president
Al Gore announced his endorsement of former Vermont governor
Howard Dean for president in a move that surprised many campaign
observers. Gore, who ran for president in 2000 and won the
popular vote, made his announcement in Harlem alongside Dean
who is already seen as the frontrunner in the campaign. For
Dean, the endorsement gives him the backing of one of the
best-known establishment Democrats.
The debate, broadcast live on C-SPAN, turned immediately
to Gore's move. Noting that Dean had had an "extraordinary
day," moderator Ted Koppel of ABC News asked the nine
candidates to raise a hand if they thought Dean could beat
President Bush.
Dean was the only one to raise his hand.
Koppel began the debate by asking the other eight candidates
why they did not raise their hands and went on to discuss
U.S. policy in Iraq as well as domestic policy issues. We
hear extended excerpts of the debate and speak with former
Green Party California gubernatorial candidate Peter Camejo
and journalist John Nichols of The Nation.
