Dean's Endorsement Helps McCain

[GoldieAZ49]

Howard Dean is doing his job, attacking the Republican candidate. However his own words are coming back to haunt him and help McCain.

“Who would you rather have in charge of the defense of the United States of America,” Dean asked the young crowd, “a group of people who never served a day overseas in their life or a guy who served his country honorably and has three Purple Hearts and a Silver Star from the battlefields of Vietnam?”

Dean added, "The real issue is this: Who would you rather have in charge of the defense of the United States of America, a group of people who never served a day overseas in their life, or a guy who served his country honorably and has three Purple Hearts and a Silver Star on the battlefields of Vietnam?"

McCain served his country honorably and has been awarded the Silver Star, the Legion of Merit, two Bronze Star Medals, a Purple Heart and the Distinguished Flying Cross.

I think everyone is aware that neither Hillary or Obama have served their country militarily.

News covering Dean's attacks have been followed with these quotes about Kerry. It seems to diminish his current attacks considerably.
