If Dean gets the shaft from professional party hacks, his diehard supporters will either stay home for the election or turn to the Greenies. I worked for Gene McCarthy's campaign in 1968 in Oregon I don't know about Dean and all this positioning of Dean as another Mondale. To me that is his biggest hurdle, he needs to confront what I feel is a false labelling of his campaign as some sort of extreme leftie. You are correct if Dean is perceived as a far leftie he will lose to Bush. But on fiscal matters Dean is not a tax and spend guy. He is an anti-war guy but that will play well after this mess, imho. I guess the landscape for the dems is Dean, Kerry or Gore. AS thinks Gore might jump in if Kerry backs down. Personally I think Gore can win against Bush. As far as who will stay home. I don't know. The under 40 professional class has been destroyed by this president. I mean destroyed, I cannot tell you how bad it is for professional workers, a complete dichotomy to what we had 5 years ago. I don't think these people will stay home and give Bush a pass. I think we will see a very, very high voter turnout just like the Davis ouster. Polls won't predict it, they never predict upsets of any kind. Bush is also hurting himself with all this concocted good economic news. Unless the east coast is experiencing double China's GDP right now, we don't have 7% GDP in the US. What I find really amazing is the cluelessness of the Bush administration as to the real sentiment out there. Bush thinks he can win in California as a dovetail on Arnold's victory? You have got to be kidding! Pete Stark has absolutely no second thoughts about calling Bush an idiot on squak box, Stark is the congressman for Fremont, a semiconductor HQ enclave.
