Soured on Howard for "Being Like Bush"
DES MOINES, Iowa - Call them the Dean Defectors - they used to like Howard Dean, but now are so turned off that some offer the ultimate insult for a Democrat: He reminds them of President Bush.Apparently no humor intended.
"I was interested in Dean, but he turned me off," said college student Katy Cunconan, 21, of Des Moines. "It's like he talks before he thinks. His remark about the Confederate flag is what started it. Then in the last debate, he seemed like he got too angry.
"In the way he comes off, he just reminds me of Bush. He just doesn't sound as intelligent as the other candidates. I don't want another president who will embarrass us," added Cunconan, who now backs John Kerry.
