On Dean's Demise
Yes, I'm still disgusted with him since he spent his entire campaign distorting and simplifying every other candidates' position. But...
But I'll give him this, he has done a good job getting the Democratic base motivated. In a way, he has become a martyr, since he is just too polarizing a figure to the middle. It does not do any good to ignite the base and turn them out, if the swing middle runs in the other direction. Yes, he has done damage to Bush long-term with his relentless pounding, but it has also made him unelectable.
Democrats must have another candidate now, I believe Kerry is the guy.
