maybe but I'll tell you one thing Dean has that Dukakis sure didn't and Bush doesn't- and that is an optimism and ability to discuss issues that plague the common man. Clinton was a master at that... you know the "I feel your pain" joke, at the time when Clinton was president I did consider it to be a bit of a joke, but NOW with Bush in the WH and this massive gloom and paranoia I see eminating from the federal government I realize how important it is to have someone in charge who can lead in a positive manner. In some ways, I think presentation is the MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE for the next president and election.

Why did your man vote for the war? It doesn't seem to be a very enlightened vote.. He should have known, as an insider it would be a fiasco with grief.. We did, so many of us did, 3 or 4,000 mile away,.. So:

Why should we support him now? When he screwed up so tragically and royaly months ago.. Is he just another "after the fact" candidate?

Just wondering why, Did he check the wind politically?.. Yeah, that's the reason, I bet.. Sorry, he's not my man.. Hair, wind, surfing and all..

I disagree.
Dean is popular because he has the correct populist message.
Bush's opinion will only decline as America continues
its "Vietnam Style War" in Iraq. The "mainstream" of America will become ANTI-BUSH.

Also, General Wesley Clark would make a great running mate for Howard Dean. Forget about Kerry. He is a has been. He just blends into the background with all the other "also-rans"
