Gene,

Dean ain't a buffoon. You're swallowing the memes that started with Mr. Turd Blossom and have been parroted throughout the media for months. Kerry is about as dynamic as one of those Easter Island statues he so eerily resembles. Edwards, I think, would make an interesting addition to the ticket of whoever wins, but I wouldn't be so quick to write Dean off.

This dues-paying Green, for one, just donated some bucks to the Dean campaign, after reading the piece in the latest Newsweek and visiting http://www.deangoesnuts.com.
