Soros Doubts

WASHINGTON -- Left-wing billionaire investor George Soros, who appeared to support Howard Dean for president, now is privately expressing doubts about the Democratic Party's front-runner.


In conversations with political friends, Soros confided he has become alarmed by Dean's recent performance and wonders whether the former Vermont governor is capable of defeating George W. Bush. In one such chat, Soros suggested he is interested in retired Gen. Wesley Clark.

Soros has made clear his visceral opposition to President Bush and his passionate desire to find somebody who can defeat him for a second term. The financier has pledged $10 million to America Coming Together (ACT) and $2.5 million to MoveOn.org -- both anti-Bush organizations.

4. When did Soros endorse Dean...or say he supported him?

This only says he *appeared* to support him. I have always thought Soros rather supported Clark to begin with? I may be wrong.

6. I believe DU rules

require that when you are quoting a right wing source, you must add your personal commentary.
