Dean Beats Edwards, Once.

I rarely agree with Howard Dean over John Edwards, but today is one of those days. Edwards has said he will vote no on the $87 billion bill to fund the occupation and reconstruction of Iraq, while Dean proposed paying for the measure by repleaing parts of the Bush income tax cut. I think Edwards' move is bad on two counts, in the first place it makes it look like he is wavering in his support for the war (he voted for the use of force resoluton), so he can be tarred as a waffler and be attacked for not SUPPORTING THE TROOPS. Dean's posistion on the other hand is pretty clever, becuase he can make the charge that the administration is more concerned with tax cuts for the wealthy than national security.
