Naderites are behind Dean now. That's poison in the general elections. Dean is more like Dukakis. They're amazingly alike except Dukakis is Greek. Name one other difference between Dean and Dukakis. Dukakis was very fiesty on the stump too, remember.

Forget about liberal states, think battleground states. From MSNBC: "While some Southern Democratic leaders are backing native son Edwards, others are leaning toward another Southerner, retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark, who they think would appeal to male voters, military veterans and some Republicans in the South. Film actor and Democratic activist David Keith, who co-starred with Richard Gere in “An Officer and Gentleman” and now lives in Knoxville, Tenn., showed up at the DNC meeting to boost Clark’s candidacy. “The independents and the disgruntled moderate Republicans are going to come over and vote for him, which they will not do for Dean,” Keith said. “Dean will do exactly what (1972 Democratic nominee George) McGovern did. He’ll polarize the party. We’ll lose every state. It will be a disaster. We need a centrist who understands foreign policy.” Along with Clark, another Vietnam veteran, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, is also sparking some Southern interest. Mississippi DNC member William Wheeler said he is leaning toward Kerry because “the very first issue that is going to have to be addressed is the Democratic candidate has to show that he is going to protect Americans.” Wheeler praises Kerry’s service as a Navy officer in Vietnam and adds, “The Bush people can’t cynically use that. They’ve used this terrorism issue as a cynical ploy. Kerry can address that, as Wes Clark could.”
