| Description | Dean Puts a New Face On His Candidacy
Former Vermont governor Howard Dean shifted his campaign strategy Tuesday to emphasize domestic issues over the war and temper the red-faced outbursts like the one he delivered after losing Iowa, the candidate and his advisers said.
Dean, after huddling with top aides to regroup from the stinging loss in the Iowa caucuses, sought to portray himself here as a more traditional policy-minded candidate focused on education, health care and jobs. The front-runner for much of the 2004 Democratic campaign suggested he would ease up on his year-long crusade to change the Democratic Party.
Dean adopted a more businesslike approach one day after he shocked many Democrats by storming onto the stage in Iowa with arms flailing and face reddening to fire up a huge crowd of younger supporters. Dean ripped off his sports jacket and rolled up his sleeves before waving a wireless microphone at the audience and shouting his vow to continue his fight for the nomination, listing state after state where primaries are scheduled. Videotape of the appearance was replayed frequently on television Tuesday.
"I thought I owed them . . . passion," Dean said, explaining how he was simply feeding off the energy of 3,000 supporters gathered for the event. |
