<<...Since Dean is a moderate...>> Will the average American view Dean as 'a moderate' after Karl Rove and his team of dirty tricksters spend over $200 Million on a creative deception campaign...?

Dean is certainly a fiscal moderate and his trade message, which other dems like Lieberman use to try to say he is too far left... is exactly what middle america wants to hear. Bush was all for free trade until it started to affect his campaign contributors and swing states- then in typical Bush fashion he swaggers in with an inconceived and immature response to the crisis. In this case it was tariffs. Now Snow is over in China starting trade wars against the undervalued Yuan... of course this has been a problem for awhile and not a damn thing was done about it. If we have one in five worrying about their job and wage inflation in an 8% GDP environment we are in a deep dilemma wrt free trade. Deans approach has to be better than "do nothing let every industry get clobbered" Bush.

Dean is a moderate like Bush is a moderate. Have you taken a look at the mobs behind Dean lately? They're many of the same ones who were behind Nader. This is not a moderate movement. Vermont is the most liberal state in the US. Not a single moderate has endorsed Dean anywhere in the country. Perhaps he is moderate compared to Nader but he's to the left of all five major candidates. That's just a fact. Also he has no military or foreign experience. Chris Matthews asked him to name one piece of international experience he's had and all he could say was he's traveled a lot and has good advisors. That doesn't work in 2004 with the world in upheaval. It also means he can't take away Bush's #1 issue, military leadership.
