Dean was pegged as the "anger" candidate. As some papers have written about lately, the angry voter candidate in the primary may benefit by energizing an angry base, but in the national election, the angry voters turn off everyone else.

Just remember what the Bushies did to the anti-war marchers before the war, demonizing them successfully as anti-American, dangerous, hippies, wimps, Naderites and even "evil", then sweeping the mid-terms. Those same marchers are mainly backing Dean now, giving small amounts and showing up at his rallies. That's all fine to get to 20% of the Democratic vote, but it has nothing to do with winning nationally.
