    I want Dean to get into the primaries. So the democrats can be completely embarassed by his utter failure. The biggest problem the democrats have is the fact they lack a strong leader, or even a viable one. Sad state really. They always got Hillary!
    For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

      Does it matter who the Democrats provide anyway?

        Again, if he was so centrist, what's the DLC's problem?

        Yawn.
        He's not the DLC's annointed one. Anyway, after that little meeting where the DLC *****ed and moaned about all the candidates so far, I think its time the DLC got kicked out of the party.

        Dean could end up being more like Clinton or Carter - coming out of nowhere and first taking the nomination, and then the presidency.

        Oh, and a few more dead soldiers in Iraq and Bush will have challengers in the Republican party primary.

            I can only wait for Kerry to unleash his financial power against Dean. Together with the National Handgun Control Center, he will start airing ads in New Hampshire of some crying mother who lost her son to a gunshot, and what a monster Dean is for continuing to support guns. Just like that, the Democratic party base, save for the gays, will be rushing to vote for Not Dean.

              See, you don't even know what you're talking about. Dean is not more center than Kerry overall, he's more left. Why would the DLC, a staunchly centrist group, be against Dean if he was more centrist?
              Imran is somewhat correct. Dean has been described as a fiscal conservative. What is getting him lots of attention is his standing up to the phoney President and pointing out that he's wearing no clothes, something which the rest of the Democrats refuse to do.

              This is why Dean is doing so well, because the others don't understand how viscerally the Democratic party base loathes Bush with every molecule of their beings. Kerry, who would do well with Dean's base, if he would only stop pulling his punches.
