This person makes a lot of new points, and uses a lot more background and theory.

The article asks "But isn't Howard Dean too angry?"

I'm more concerned that he isn't angry *enough*. I'd vote for someone who'd try to have the entire extended Bush and Cheney clans publicly executed for treason, and nationalize all companies they have major interests in -- Halliburton, the Carlyle Group, and so on -- as partial repayment for all they've stolen from the public treasury.

Ok, I'm asking this not to be a smarty pants but because I'm genuinely undecided. Why should I vote for Dean instead of Clark or Kucinich (aside that I can't spell that)? What's he got that they ain't got? I was kind of interested in Braun, but now she's out and has given her support to Dean...

Content, and contentment

I'd be happier with Clark, myself, but by the time NJ gets around to having a primary it's likely to be a mostly settled issue. I'm more of the "Anyone But Bush" sentiment, and Dean is a.) Not Bush, and b.) has a fair amount of backing, and thus a good chance at defeating Bush.

As much as I still have any hope for the electoral process, a Dean/Clark ticket looks to be the best shot we've got at throwing the thief out. If Kucinich takes a sudden jump in the polls, I'd be happy to look at him, too. But I think Clark is needed on the ticket in order to blast Bush on his lack-of-war-record.
