Meh. Yes, if somehow Howard Dean were the Democratic nominee and the Bush campaign somehow didn't know that and kept to the "running against a flip-flopper" playbook that they're currently using against Senator Kerry, then yes, Dean would be in the fast lane. Heck, so would Kucinich or Mosley-Braun or most anyone else you would want to name.

But play fair if you're going to be hypothetical. The Bush campaign would run a different campaign agaisnt Dean -- he can't control his temper, his Bush-bashing could easily be cast as anti-American and anti-troops, and do we really want to have a First Lady with a career? It could easily have been a disaster of Mondalian proportions if Dean was as unprepared for the spotlight as he was during the primary.

It's true that I'm not as excited about the future that Kerry would bring in the way that I was in 1992, but at the same time I think that we have a very credible candidate who is capable of regaining momentum and getting Bush defeated. And, while I respect the right to free speech, dissing Kerry when the electoral college vote is still very turbulent doesn't help that momentum. I guess it depends on whether you'd rather have a Democratic president or four more years of going to hell down a greased poll so that Dean can save us in 2008....

Quite, and if Dean couldn't beat the shower that were the other Democrat hopefulls, what hope would he have had against Bush?

Amen.

I'm voting for Kerry, but only with great reluctance. I was (and am) definitely a Howard Dean supporter. Actually, I would have supported Kucinich if I didn't think he had a female's chance in the US Air Force Academy snowball's chance in hell.
