But there is a monumental "on the other hand" with Dean. There is a recklessness about the man, an adolescent screw-you defiance that runs much deeper than the steady stream of gaffes produced by his projectile candor

Reminds me of Clinton without the slickness. With Clinton it was "I can make you love me," and "Can't catch me!" with Dean it is "Screw you," and "I'm cock of the walk," but it's still an adolesecent motivation.

Klein is always interesting, esp. when he talks about the game, his favorite subject. My own gut reaction to Dean is similar to the reaction I had to Newt Gingrich's rise in 1994: "Oh, man, are they going to get tired of him in a hurry! and for the exact same reasons he was such a brilliant success."
