Dale, I'm sending a big "pffffft" in your direction. Middle ground? Lieberman? The guy is a self-loathing Democrat. He seems to lack a basic understanding of how the party got to where it is today, at least based on all his mewling about Dean et al. dragging the Democrats to the left. They may have been underdogs before Clinton stole GOP cornerstones for his platform, won two elections, and reinvented the party as Republican Lite...but at least they were underdogs with a real identity.
Say what you will about Dean, but he's drawn a line in the sand against his adversaries, and goddammit, that's the way it's supposed to be.
