The key phrase, bigger than the Kerry comeback issue. "But she also worries that a Dean nomination "would be like McGovern all over again." In 1972, the frontrunner was Sen. Edmund Muskie of Maine, upended by an outsider riding a wave of youthful support and antiwar sentiment. George McGovern won the nomination but then lost 49 states to the Republican president, Richard Nixon. "I'd hate for that to happen again," Alson says." If Kerry is the Muskie of 2004, then the dems should remember what they let Nixon do to Muskie, focusing on slandering Muskie while letting liberal dems rally aroud McGovern. Muskie was said to be able to beat Nixon. Of course we'll never know. Kerry seems an even stronger candidate than Muskie was. But will it translate?
