Bzzzt! Wrong -- Good article until this: "I think his belief in the supreme importance of government in people's lives deserves debate, and represents what the Democratic party is ultimately about. "

That's what the GOP wants the argument to be. The biggest joke is that Bush's GOP is remotely interested in "smaller gov't". The rhetoric is all lies, while the actions are simply towards an all-powerful central gov't run by insiders.

The "supreme importance of gov't in people's lives" belief is held by both parties, which is why both parties are dangerous. The primary difference is that the radicals controlling the GOP want to take over the world and the jellyfish Washington Dems want to whine while they go along with it. Dean is starting to hold both accountable, which is why the establishments of both parties wish he would go away, but don't know quite how to do that.

Dean's argument is about who runs things, insiders or outsiders. The argument about the size of gov't isn't being made by Dems, except Dean, who at least raises the bar on expectations for budget-balancing. That said, it's dumb politically for Dean to remove the mid-class tax cuts.
