Dean support only seems to increase with every out-of-context quote, where they fail to include the relevant parts. I guess people can read, these days.

The "refusal" to release gubenatorial records is a good one -- he's already handed them to a third-party to review for release, and challenged Bush on releasing his administration's papers.

The Dean camp just hired longtime Gore aide Roy Neel.

That doesn't sound encouraging ! <G>

I liked Steve Murphy's precise statement, which could have been crafted by the GOP instead of Gephardt or Lieberman (and perhaps it was):

"His most serious departure from the Democratic mainstream is not his opposition to the war. It is his apparent readiness to shrink U.S. ambitions, in Iraq and elsewhere, at a time when the safety of Americans is very much at stake."

Therein lies the nub -- Dean says out loud what Rumsfeld's leaked memo only hints at, that absolutely stupid adventurism by history's greatest military is creating more lethal enemies, not fewer. Never mind that such preemptive "ambitions" violate the Constitution, the Framers' warnings, and common sense.

The consequences are profound. The cost in blood and resources reduces readiness, and the bonehead distraction into Iraq instead of following up in Afghanistan means we're not ready for any of those millions of angry Islamists to get frisky.
