Nader had rallies with 50,000 in the NW in 2000. Those same people are behind Dean now. To win, the Democrats need to hold onto those left-wing types but also move toward the middle in a strong moderate fashion. It's a tough trick. Especially for Dean. He's trying to move to the middle now, but his base is mostly the angry far left, so he's going to have a very tough time. Also remember, both the nomination and the general election are won by getting moderates behind you, from all parties.

Dean is a rousing candidate, but I don't think this big surge of his is going anywhere in the long run. The media has helped create it and they will move on to another story next. The final story will be who can best beat Bush?
When you subtract Lieberman, Edwards, Graham and maybe Gephardt, that leaves Kerry. Dean, Kerry, Gephardt. That is who the race is between now. Gephardt is only in thre because of union support. Now Kerry needs to show his mettle. Watch him make his move.
