Howard vs. Pat:
Wouldn't I love to be a fly on the wall for this event (bottom of the page).

DEAN STILL ON

Organizers hope for best

When Howard Dean won the Democratic National Committee chairmanship this month, his schedule tightened. Organizers of Friday's Michigan Political Leadership Program breakfast in Grand Rapids feared he wouldn't make the 7 a.m. breakfast at Meijer Gardens. As polpourri reported in January, Dean was booked as the liberal counterpart to commentator Pat Buchanan. "We (are) hoping he wouldn't cancel," said Amy Baumer, spokeswoman for the MPLP. Cost is $125. Call (517) 255-6672.

Hope the Press covers it. These two probably have more in common nowadays than anyone would think.
