I'm glad to see you still insist on seeing Dean as some kind of radical leftist. You're nothing if not tenacious in your beliefs...who cares about the facts anyway?
Who is Deans power base? The far left.  Never said he was a radical. Just a lefty. Leiberman would have the best chance for election but Algore took care of him. Good ole Algore

Those interested in reality will note (and I'm pretty sure I and others have pointed this out here before): Dean's a fiscal conservative and a pretty well-established policy centrist. And don't forget about his love affair with the NRA:

I've heard about the NRA thing. But he also has reversed himself on several issues that will come back during the election I'm sure. And every chance he gets he puts his foot in his mouth.
The rednecks, pickup trucks and confederate flags comments where classic. I think he will continue in this vein.  But we digress here DeWester. You did not address one of the questions from above.
