I'm a self-confessed Dean supporter, and I'd vote for Edwards over Kerry.
But if Kerry wins the nomination, I'm wondering how he is going to be able to placate people who supported Dean. In my opinion, Kerry has won thus far by running a very good, but conventional, campaign and by co-opting Dean's message. For example, Kerry now says "I will fight for you" and "I'll stand up against the special interests."
What happens when he has to comprimise on an issue? Or, worse, what happens when the special interests that have supported him demand something from him? Live by the conventional method of campaigning (e.g., not getting lots of small donations), die by the conventional method of campaigning (e.g., helping out his supporters once he is elected).
So, here's my question: Does anyone else think it is going to be a major problem for Kerry that once he is nominated, or elected, he is going to get savaged everytime he veers off his new found path? Unless he becomes the most progressive candidate we've seen in a long time, I could see him taking as many hits from the left as the right.
