Dean captivated people in fairly substantial way, and I'm not saying that because I'm a Deaniac.  I'm saying that because he came out of nowhere and spent quite a few months in the number one slot - he was the man to beat, and someone did.

In contrast, Kerry never provoked a visceral response in people. He had some hard core supporters but most people voted for him, as I recall, because they thought he could beat Bush. That's what I'm advising against - trying to be clever like that.

This time, we should all go out and vote for whom we really want to be president and not try and game the system. That's my whole point. I have no idea what you think pointing out that not 100% of people supported Dean brings to the discussion.
