Kerry will be very electable if he gets the nomination. I find Dean unelectable. Amongst the choices apart from Dean, Kerry stands out. He has it all. And don't think he cannot turn this around. Remember, in the end all the non-dean candidates will support one of their own. Dean is on his own. That helps him in the beginning and hurts him in the end. This is about delegates and nothing else.

ACF: Same experience here... I recently visited a web site that matches individual political preferences with candidate positions and discovered that, after the hypothetical Libertarian candidate, who is the best match for me, my number 2 guy is Howard Dean. I attribute this in part to the oversimplification of the issues in the "test," and in part to the chameleon nature of politicians such as Dean. As always, the former enables the latter. There is zero chance of my voting for Dean. I don't even think he's the least bad of a bad lot. All I ever see as "choices" for the presidency are control freaks and/or power-mongers with folksy poses. Although often not too bright (note the exceptions: Nixon, Carter, Clinton!), most compensate with low cunning--for instance, knowing that for many people style is substance. So a man of substance such as Steve Forbes is a nonstarter, while empty suits are nominated.
