Clinton could easily, in more normal times, have passed for a Rockefeller Republican; Carville is largely a hired gun with a very quick wit, about as close to an in-your-face type as the Dems produce. Unlike the Reps who seemed overpopulated with such.

Dean, I repeat, is a fiscal conservative, long known for that when he was the governor of Vermont. To be against the Iraq invasion doesn't define a left position. The only thing that might is his eagerness to raise campaign contributions in a more populist fashion. But the Reps have done that before he got there; so I don't think it's a particularly defining left or right thing.

Actually, as for the last paragraph, I was hardly reaching for a definitive statement; just playing word games with thames over the difference between European and American politics.
