Mr. McGovern, the last insurgent Democrat to run for president on an antiwar platform, sees parallels between the 1972 race and the current campaign. And in the candidacy of Howard Dean, he hears echoes of his own. ...... More than three decades ago, the presidential candidacies of two Democratic senators — Mr. McGovern, from South Dakota, and Eugene J. McCarthy, from Minnesota — transformed their party, making it more liberal and inviting accusations that it was antimilitary and too dovish in foreign policy. Mr. McGovern won the 1972 nomination but was trounced by President Richard M. Nixon in November. Mr. McCarthy drove President Lyndon B. Johnson from the 1968 race but lost the nomination to Hubert H. Humphrey. nytimes.com

None of those Dems supported a unilateral war with no post-invasion plan. No Repubs did either. And since we didn't have a unilateral war and since there is an extensive post invasion plan being implemented now, the only question now is what are you crying about? Your guys got what they wanted.

November 5, 2003 Dean Considers Plan to Forgo Public Financing By JODI WILGOREN URLINGTON, Vt., Nov. 4 — Howard Dean is planning to poll his supporters in an unusual online survey this week about whether he should become the first Democratic presidential candidate ever to abandon the 30-year-old public-financing system in the primaries. Dr. Dean has been weighing for months whether to forgo federal matching funds and be free of the spending limits that come with them. The poll of supporters could blunt criticism of such a move. Last March, before he showed his fund-raising prowess, Dr. Dean, the former governor of Vermont, had pledged to stay in the system, saying, "Campaign finance reform is just something I believe in." Dr. Dean planned to announce that he was surveying supporters in an e-mail message sent at midnight Tuesday to nearly 500,000 people who have registered on his Web site and in a speech on Wednesday in Manhattan.
