| Description | ALBANY, N.Y. -- Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, who began his quest for the Democratic presidential campaign as Mr. Outsider, has developed a campaign that looks increasingly like Mr. Insider.
While the Dean campaign's organizational skills have already paid dividends in Iowa and New Hampshire _ his poll numbers are impressive in both states _ they have also begun to make a mark in later-primary voting states such as New York.
Eight months ago, about all Dean had going for him in New York among the political professionals was the support of a former state party chairwoman, Judith Hope. A prodigious fund-raiser, the outspoken Hope was instrumental in restoring a party organization left broke and demoralized in the wake of then-Gov. Mario Cuomo's loss to Republican George Pataki in 1994.
In New York, the slate of potential national convention delegates being offered up by Dean for the state's March 2 presidential primary reflect the changing dynamic. Candidates in New York traditionally try to pepper their slates with well-known names to attract voters. Dean's reads like a Who's Who of New York politics. |
