Re: McCain's huge gaffe

Mr. Dean:

You need to formulate a better line of attack. Your fund raising
email on McCain's "gaffe" only reveals your own naivety, ignorance
and desperation.

There is just too much information readily available all over the
web, including the 9/11 Commission Report, that links "Shia" Iran
with "Sunni" Al Qaeda.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

I suggest you focus on his age, or possible infidelities!
