Joe Lockhart, voormalig woordvoerder van president Clinton en tegenwoordig voorzien van de prachtige titel Democratisch strateeg, werd in Inside Politics van CNN gevraagd naar zijn mening over de rol die de arrestatie van Saddam speelt bij de positie van Howard Dean, koploper bij de Democraten en fel tegenstander van de oorlog in Irak.
LOCKHART: Well, the conventional wisdom says it hurts him and I'm a firm believer that conventional wisdom is wrong 99 percent of the time. I think he's got to expand his campaign beyond being against the war, but he had to do that anyway in order to be successful I think beyond Iowa and New Hampshire. And to be successful in the general election should he get that far. So I think in a strange way, this may be a blessing for him. It's going to put him to a test. As a Democrat, I'm glad this test is coming before we decide who the nominee is and not after. […] And let me do conventional wisdom bashing No. 2, which is that this campaign was over. Let's remember, a week ago, we were sitting around in rooms like this saying, the campaign has been remade with the Al Gore endorsement. Where's that now? It's gone. This will be gone. This will -- this is -- they're exactly right, the other campaigns, that when we get to January, this is crunch time. This is a good test, a hard battle, demolition derby, whatever we want to call it. It's good for Democrats. So I think this is good for Edwards, this is good for potentially Kerry, good potentially for Wes Clark. I think we will get an alternative to Howard Dean. We'll have a good battle. And, again, as a Democrat, I'm glad we're having this battle, because we're going to get the best candidate out of this. gepubliceerd door Marc op zondag, december 21, 2003 #
