ChinuSFO,
Re: Just my analysis
Get off the drugs, son. You call that post analysis? LOL! I call it successful media brainwashing. Even you, someone I once considered to be something of a sophisticate seem to have taken a long leap into lunacy.
In her excellent book, "Shrub: The Short But Happy Political Life of George W. Bush", Molly Ivins intelligently said that there only three things upon which any candidate should be judged. The record, the record and most importantly, the record.
Let's look at the record, shall we.

I find it amazing that you would mouth the lies of the media about how "liberal" Howard Dean is. Dean is a fiscally conservative, states rights centrist.
Kerry, OTOH, has a solid record as a "limosine liberal", a charge that he'll be ridiculed about during the general election.

In case there is any doubt about who is more liberal, Dean or Kerry, here's another study of politicians that I take quite seriously:

As you can see, neither Kerry nor Dean are "liberals". The are both right-of-center, on a scale that considers the poltics of all OECD Democracies.
Only in America could people be so out of touch with reality as to call Howard Dean a "liberal". |
