Dean hasn't won anything. He has 15% support. He has 90% support amongst the farthest left part of the Dem party. He has little competition for those voters who hate the establishment. He says he's bringing in new voters but that's the same thing Nader said. And they're the same voters.

Pat Buchanon says Bush would beat Dean by landslide and he should know since he helped Nixon smear McGovern during an even worse war, and McGovern was even a war hero. "If, however, Dean is nominated, he will be an anti-war candidate of a party most of whose national leaders – Gephardt, Kerry, Edwards, Lieberman, Daschle, Clinton – voted for war. The last Democrat to take so vivid an anti-war stand was George McGovern in 1972. Second, Dean's call for repeal of the Bush tax cuts will make him, for the purposes of GOP campaign commercials, the pro-tax candidate. Lieberman is already on tape predicting a "Dean Depression." Democrats have not nominated a tax-raiser since Walter Mondale in 1984, and like McGovern, he, too, lost 49 states. Third, Dean's support of civil unions for homosexuals in Vermont will make "gay" marriage, and the GOP constitutional amendment restricting marriage to a man and woman, the social issue of 2004. In 1972, Nixon ran against McGovern as the candidate, in Sen. Hugh Scott's phrase, of "acid, amnesty and abortion." If Bush and Karl Rove, using the $170 million they plan to raise by spring, can paint Dean as pro-homosexual weddings, pro-hiking taxes and "soft on Saddam," Dean and the Democrats could face a wipeout. Nothing is certain in politics. Few predicted the Bush swoon of last summer. And the economy could go into that "double-dip" recession some predict. But as of now, it looks like "Four More Years!" for GWB." * See they cannot do this to Kerry and Clark. Those two are largely immune. They can try but they won't succeed. Kerry and Clark are both more moderate than dean. And more experienced.
