NEWS SUMMARY
The Note would like to think that success in American politics is based to a large enough extent on substance that Howard Dean's 6-month run as the Democratic Party frontrunner couldn't be turned by one whooop-containing piece of video into the electoral equivalent of Pamela Ewing having dreamed the entire 9th season of "Dallas."
But the tracking poll trends and overwhelming Gang of 500 CW suggest that tonight's monster doubleheader — the debate at 8 ET and the Doctors Dean world exclusive first joint broadcast interview with Diane Sawyer at 10 ET on ABC News' Primetime — just might be the last chance for Howard-powered Howard to get back in the hunt.
The comparisons to Bill and Hill's post-Super Bowl "60 Minutes" interview in 1992 are as obvious as they are relevant. If Judith Steinberg can stand ("sit" actually) by her man in a way that recontextualizes him as a kindly New England doctor who wants to ride a grassroots wave to make fundamental change, perhaps Dean can turn this around. (Our crack technicians won't let a light fall of them, we promise.)
Sawyer will conduct the interview this afternoon in Vermont. Watch for excepts beginning on World News Tonight with Peter Jennings and on an ABC affiliate near you. Then see the whole thing on "Primetime" immediately following the debate.
The lead-in audience on WMUR out of the debate broadcast should allow the Deans to reach quite a few Granite State voters.
Of course, Dean is going to need a strong performance himself when he stands as part of the Surviving Seven (what Ken Mehlman and Jack Olvier think of as the new Seven Dwarfs … .) in the WMUR/ABC News/Union Leader/Fox News Channel event.
Go St. Anselm! (And go ABC: surely you can't help but notice how ABC News is bringing you every major political news development today!)
With Ambassador Moseley Braun's exit last week and Rep. Gephardt's departure from the field on Tuesday, this will be the first debate with a condensed field of seven: Kerry, Edwards, Dean, Clark, Lieberman, Kucinich, and Sharpton.
The 90-minute debate will air live on WMUR-TV and FOX News Channel beginning at 8:00 pm ET. Extended excerpts will air on a one-hour special edition of ABC News' Nightline at 11:35 pm ET. FOX News Radio, ABC News Radio and ABC News Live will also carry the debate live.
Fox News Channel's Brit Hume will serve as debate moderator in the opening portion of the debate. ABC News' Peter Jennings will moderate the latter portion of the debate and serve as the lead questioner on the panel that also includes WMUR-TV's Tom Griffith and John DiStaso of the Union Leader.
Although Team Kerry doesn't want anyone to know (sssssshhhhh!!!), if their guy plays error-free ball tonight and for less than a week, this nomination fight narrative might be more about a Kerry glide path than it is about a wide-open scramble.
And the current dynamics are playing to the advantage of Comeback Kerry. (As might an interview with … .tick, tick, tick, "60 Minutes" this Sunday.)
Dean himself — playing political analyst — said it best yesterday in explaining why no one has tried to rip the face off the new frontrunner — yet.
"The problem is when you go negative it drags you down," told an interviewer yesterday "Dick and I were running first and second and we ended up third and fourth. You've got to be very careful in a multi-candidate race."
(In fact, that wasn't Dean's only turn as a political analyst yesterday — he told USA Today in an interview, that while "most debates are not important … .'this one is. A lot of people are going to be really focused on it.'")
(In fact, Dean has already spent some time prepping for the debate, we are told, and has real, Dennett-Vogel-Buxton — certified debate prep time today!)
(In fact, the Bush folks must be shaking their heads at how much the Dean high command — on the record and on background — are talking about tactics, changes, strategy, and efforts to re-make the candidate. No one has spotted Naomi Wolf in Burlington — yet — but can you imagine George W. Bush or even an adviser of his saying (as Dean himself did in the same USA Today interview) this: "I might as well go back to being who I really am.")
(In fact, even in success, the Kerry campaign is no slouch in handing out that kind of process blind quote too!!)
Dean's advisers seem to agree with the candidate.

The Washington Post 's Dan Balz — sage, Solomonic, and searching — sums up the data flow flawlessly, "By now there are about as many tracking polls as candidates in New Hampshire, providing a daily shower of statistics that yields a fever chart of the contest, if not always an accurate portrait of where the Democratic campaign is heading. At this point, the polls all show the same thing: Dean declining, Kerry rising, Clark fixed firmly in third and Edwards overtaking Lieberman for fourth." LINK
And Bob Novak writes that what happened in Iowa on Monday "was principally rejection of Howard Dean's politics of anger." Novak writes that Bob Shrum predicted two weeks ago that Kerry would win the Iowa caucuses. "Shrum has seldom made such forecasts to me in the more than 30 years I have known him, but when he has they have been accurate. He was so optimistic because Kerry finally straightened out his chaotic campaign organization and defined himself as a war hero able to protect the American people from terrorism." Novak thinks Edwards helped his campaign with an ad that made it clear he is 50 years old. LINK

ABC 2004: The Democratic nomination fight in New Hampshire:
Note to the manager of the Center of the Universe Holiday Inn: We know that the timing of this primary came as a complete surprise TO all of us, and so you couldn't possibly have arranged in advance for a dry cleaner and laundry service that could handle the increased demand and expectation of same-day service. But now that you know we are here, and you know about the primary, GET THIS FIXED NOW!!!!!
The Wall Street Journal 's Jackie Calmes, Jake Schlesinger and John Harwood turn in a New Hampshire opus, looking at the dynamic in the Granite State, with polls showing Kerry up, Dean slipping and the debate over who's electable and who's not.
"Privately," they write, "Dean strategists said they believed Mr. Kerry actually had pulled slightly ahead, but they were hopeful of stopping the former Vermont governor's fall."
Al Hunt looks at who's hot and who's not — with some interesting straight-to-the-candidate(s) advice now that they're in the Big Leagues of the last few days before the New Hampshire primary.
The Boston Herald endorses John Kerry for President, writing "If we have learned anything since the 2000 presidential election it is that in a dangerous and uncertain world there is no substitute for a steady hand at the nation's helm, guided by a lifetime of experience. And that, at the end of the day, is what Senator John Kerry has to offer the Democratic Party as its nominee for president — a 35-year record of service to his nation and to this state." LINK
The Boston Globe also endorses Kerry, but its website is (as expected) is not yet updated. An excerpt: "We share John Kerry's values and vision for America as a confident, tolerant, enlightened nation. By his consistency, his resolve, and his experience, he has continued to demonstrate that he is best prepared to help the nation realize those ideals." LINK
Just to show how hard it is to cover a campaign solely based on polls, the Boston Herald shows Kerry up 10 points on Dean at 31 points and The General taking third place. LINK Just to complicate things, today's USA Today /Gallup poll shows Kerry and Dean in a statistical tie. LINK In both instances, this is good news for the Kerry campaign who was all but written off in the Granite State competition not too long ago.
The Times ' Rachel Swarns writes up the candidates' efforts to capture the now-up-for-grabs Show-Me State. LINK
The Times ' Ed Wyatt Notes that "faced with the radically revised political landscape" and the rising strength of Kerry and Edwards, Clark told veterans he "represented the best of both of them" and backed away from his Monday swipe at Kerry. LINK
Howie Kurtz reports on the "inescapable" New Hampshire ads: " LINK
The New York Times' Elizabeth Rosenthal writes that following Kerry's and Edwards' 1-2 finish in Iowa, "both campaigns — particularly Mr. Kerry's — seem to be captivating voters throughout New Hampshire, prompting them to reconsider whether Howard Dean, the former governor of Vermont and long the leader in polls here, is the best choice among the Democrats."

David Broder thinks the large gulf separating the Democratic candidates and President Bush is fundamental, writing of the economic/domestic policy-focused Dems and the national security focus of the president. LINK
The Post 's Paul Schwartzman writes that Clark "offers himself up as a kind of 'General Smith Goes to Washington,' telling crowds he is not a professional politician, even as he is surrounded by veterans of the Clinton-Gore campaigns." LINK
So far, Wall Street's cheddar is with the president. LINK
Maureen Dowd steps in to assess the president's "steroid-infused performance" Tuesday evening and Howard Dean's "snarly, teeth-baring Iowa finale." LINK
Tom Friedman finds that "Iowa Democrats, in opting for John Kerry and John Edwards over Howard Dean, signaled (among other things) that they want a presidential candidate who is serious about fighting the war against the Islamist totalitarianism threatening open societies." LINK
We wonder what Mr. Fuerth thinks of that?

Leno and Letterman, one time each last night.
On GMA, only once. And we contextualized it. So there.
One thing we gotta mention: Dean is SMILING when he yelps. He's not yelping in anger. So stop, fellow media world, saying that he was angry when he was yelping.

Edwards:
While Senator John Edwards prides himself on running a positive campaign, he signed a document encouraging his supporters to attack his Democrat opponents. Has he gone negative? Here's ABC's Jake Tapper. LINK
Following up on Tapper's work, the New York Times ' Randy Archibold reports in a 250-word story that Senator John Edwards, "who has rebuked his rivals for negative campaigning," "condemned and took responsibility for a memorandum to his Iowa campaign workers that described Howard Dean as 'an elitist' and John Kerry as 'part of the failed Washington politics.'" LINK
From ABC News Edwards campaign reporter Gloria Riviera:
While the extent to which this story dogs Edwards today remains to be seen (he has only one event before the debate) last night it certainly had the press corps buzzing, calling, phoning in etc., after his avail.
Internally, the Iowa surge is not surprisingly attributed in no small part to the entire field effort (which according to all accounts succeeded due to thoroughness and intensity) and it is hard to think something like this would pass unnoticed--still sources at every level won't budge on indicating who knew what, and when.
Of course all the traveling press corps wants to determine is what Edwards knew, and when. Just before his avail Edwards was asked, in the Q&A session at his Portsmouth Town Hall, what he thought about Gephardt. Edwards went on extensively about what a "good man" Gephardt is and how he could absolutely see including him in an "Edwards Administration" without a doubt. Juxtaposed against the literature in the packet on Gephardt (which says he led Congress to lose the House)-- however prefaced it may be by caveat flattery — the story could prove prickly for Edwards particularly given the window in which it broke. While in Iowa 4 days out we were hearing many audience members "heavily leaning toward" and decided for the Senator, here in NH (and in a very unscientific post-event poll) the majority seem to be undecided. At this point the most damaging potential is what his rivals tell people on the trail and how it plays tonight at the debate.
Edwards himself was decidedly lawyerly and deft in deflection, and already word is the campaign handled the incident well by nipping it in the bud. I expect it to come up again today if he does an avail, but the campaign is resolute in moving on.

Dean:
The AP's Fournier on Dean's reformer strategy, drawing parallels to bush in '00, "'Everything has changed since Iowa,'" said Joe Trippi. LINK
From ABC News Dean campaign reporter Reena Singh:
January 22, Manchester, NH--In 1809, Revolutionary War hero General John Stark raised a glass and made a toast: "Live Free Or Die; Death Is Not The Worst of Evils." Almost 200 years later, in Manchester, New Hampshire, Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean updated the General's words for his campaign battle cry: "Live Free And Dean."
The independent, rebellious phrase seems fitting for a candidate who will spend the next 5 days promoting the image of a straight talking, Washington outsider to save his bid for the presidency from dying. Senior advisers say their candidate is going back to his root message to distinguish himself from the other candidates. Bottom line: "Howard Dean is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in."
On the day of the last debate before the primary, the Governor plans to unload his latest arsenal when he introduces specifics to his campaign finance reform plan including limiting individual contributions from $2,000 to $250. Policy advisers explain that the plan is structured to eliminate special interest money and "Washington as usual politics." Regarding the plan, senior adviser Gina Glantz says, "I think that this is a message about average Americans being in control of their environments. You can't get things-like health insurance-done in Washington unless you have campaign finance reform. It goes to the ability of politicians being able to do the right thing without being tied to special interest dollars."
To be determined is how this message will play out to voters over the days leading up to the primary and whether it will be enough to defeat the fiery post-caucus debacle that has provided fodder for late night television two nights in a row. The traveling press, headquartered in Manchester, continues to monitor the fallout at their hotel's communal dining room while feeding on bagels and headlines. As for the Dean staff, one adviser refers to the intense rally speech as simply a "distraction," while others scoff at the attention and blame the "establishment media" for the negative spin.

The Union Leader's Gary Dennis writes up Dean telling his supporters yesterday that "the New Hampshire's primary is his to win if campaigners stick to the formula of a true grass-roots campaign." LINK
The Los Angeles Times' Barabak and Fiore report that Dean's "overheated concession speech in Iowa may have inflicted irreparable harm on his campaign, intensifying concerns that Vermont's former governor is prone to outbursts and fits of pique that make him unqualified to be president, analysts said Wednesday."

ABC News Dean Blog obsessor Marc Ambinder Notes that the blog commentators appear to have modulated their tone from yesterday. They're more upbeat — they like what they see as responsiveness from Burlington as to their suggested strategy changes. They're more hopeful — and back on message. Much less criticism.
Lieberman:
From ABC News' Lieberman campaign reporter Talesha Reynolds:
Manchester, NH, Jan 21 — The Lieberman campaign got a much-longed-for addition Wednesday when Integrity One rolled into Manchester. The charter bus was supposed to arrive in time for Lieberman's afternoon walk along Elm Street, but it was stuck in traffic. By the time it got to town, the sun was mostly set, but the Senator's silver hair and huge smile was still clearly visible along its side. Next to Lieberman's photo, giving the thumbs up, are the words "Integrity" and "Independence."
ABC News, thrilled to escape the cramped quarters of the press van cum ice box cum trash receptacle, took her seat in time to witness the ceremonial laying down of duct tape to separate staff and press. (It should be Noted that the duct tape was provided by a reporter.) When the Senator boarded he took a beeline to the back to chat up reporters. LINK
In his Lieberman profile, the Los Angeles Times' Stephen Braum profiles Lieberman and writes that his Senate speech against Clinton was "painful for both, it helped land him on national ticket. It's rarely mentioned now." LINK
Clark:
From ABC News CLark campaign reporter Deborah Apton:
MANCHESTER, NH, Jan. 21--On the eve of the last debate before the New Hampshire primary, the Clark campaign did not show any signs that they in anyway expect the debate to be as fiery as the one they missed in Iowa. With moment-to-moment tracking polls, and Dean, Kerry, and Clark hovering over spots one, two, and three, the million dollar question is--will anybody go on the attack?
For two hours in the late afternoon, General Clark will head into debate prep in Manchester. Among those expected to attend in-person: Ron Klain, Matt Bennett, Eli Segal, Josh Gottheimer (Clark's speechwriter), Jason Furman (Clark's policy director), and Ben Holzer (Clark's research director). But beyond the prep, the staff's main concern is what Clark will say in the debate, especially if he is attacked. Often running on the platform--"I'm not a politician"--a trait that appeals to many voters may spur not-so-good opinions. At least two campaign sources acknowledge that candidate Clark's answers in the debate situation are unpredictable.

ABC News Vote 2004: Bush-Cheney re-elect:
Elisabeth Bumiller reports that while President Bush's marriage initiatives in his SOTU were cast to appeal to conservatives, it "was also aimed at netting a bigger, more important group: married women with children, who voted for Bill Clinton in 1996 and Mr. Bush in 2000. In 2004, that group is, as always, up for grabs. The goal of the White House, Republicans said, was to try to pick off some married Democratic women who might be reassured by the president's oratory."

David Sanger reports that President Bush yesterday took "a relatively small job-training initiative" on a trip to Ohio and Arizona, "two of the most hotly contested states in the coming election," and Notes that while Bush sat in front of "Jobs for the 21st Century" banners, "the strategies he described did not involve job creation; instead, they are focused on education programs, particularly at community colleges, that improve basic skills."

The Wall Street Journal 's Jon Hilsenrath writes that the National Bureau of Economic Research may revise the date of the recession to November 2000 — during President Clinton's tenure. You can almost see the campaign ad, can't you?

Just before he heads out of town today, on what is only his second (known!) trip abroad since taking office, Vice President Cheney told NPR that the White House has not given up yet on the search for WMD in Iraq.
