Yup, he's taken the playbook right out of the Clinton diaries. With this approach, I expect him to win the Democrat nomination. Eventually, the party elites will recognize the manipulative tactics and cheer him on just like they did Clinton a few years ago.

Instead of pandering and lies, it will be looked at as *brilliant* political strategy.

He will be a former coal miner in West Virginia.
He will be an envalistic preacher in South Carolina.
He will be an environmentalist in Oregon and Washington.
He will be a champion for civil rights in N.Y. Washington and Chicago.
He will be a farmer in Kansas, Iowa, and Nebraska.
He will be a champion of the internet in Silicon Valley. Heck, he may even claim to have invented it with Al Gore.
He will be for school vouchers in areas where they're working, and against them in front of the Teachers union in D.C.
He will be for oil in Texas, and against oil in California.
He will be for drilling in Anwar Alaska, and against drilling in every other state.

This is how you get the Democrat nomination. Howard Dean understands his constituents better than any other Democrat running, and by jo-he'll win the nomination.

What I said yesterday or last year doesn't matter. "You have to look at it in the *context* under which it was spoken" will be his supporters rallying cry.
