| Dean says he can beat Bush |

| MANCHESTER, N.H., Dec 09, 2003 (United Press International
via COMTEX) -- The nine Democratic presidential candidates debating
in New Hampshire Tuesday united in opposition to President Bush,
rather than attacking each other.
But when the candidates were asked by moderator Ted Koppel to
raise their hands if they thought front-runner Howard Dean, former
Governor of Vermont, could beat Bush, only Dean raised his hand.
But Dean may have somewhat blurred his reputation as the most
outspoken anti-war candidate by saying U.S. troops might have to
stay in Iraq for years, in partnership with allied and United
Nations forces. He made the statement even as he condemned the
decision to go to war.
However, with former Vice President Al Gore endorsing him
Tuesday, Dean appeared confident and assured. The state's largest
union, that of public school teachers, also has endorsed Dean.
