Ray a good post. But let us stop to see Bush vis-a-vis Dean. The Bushies are to the extreme right. They have railroaded their fellow Republicans who are moderate and more to the middle and hence closer to the Independents.

Now you take Dean. He is more to the left than Kerry. So let us consider him to the left. Dean and his folks also railroaded or attempted to railroad their way through the nomination process. started to solicit endorsements from the "so called" leaders or "self appointed" influencers such as Al Gore. When Dean got attacked he went running to Terry McAulife. He wanted the "protection" similar to which Bush had from his party (thanks papa Bush) when he ran against McCain in 2000.

But again this is the Democratic party. Dean's actions, did not carry well with the rank and file Democrats. They viewed his actions similar to that of Bushies but from the other side of the political spectrum. And Hence they moved or gravitated towards a candidate who is more towards the center and could attract similar votes from the disenchanted Republicans.

Just my analysis and I hope people like Jake do not come on and insist that I provide proof.
