A 'GRASSROOTS' CAMPAIGN?

Is Dean for America going to pot? Granite Staters for Medical Marijuana, a New
Hampshire drug policy reform group, is raising the "grade" it is giving to
presidential candidate Howard Dean in its voter guide, based on what it
describes as his recent "positive statements" about medical marijuana.

The group now is awarding the former Vermont governor a "C" for policy.

Previously, it gave him an "F+," the lowest grade it gave to any of the
Democratic presidential candidates. Massachusetts Senator John Kerry gets a "B"
from the group.

North Carolina Senator John Edwards and Florida Senator Bob Graham are now tied
for the group's lowest rating, each with a "D-."
