An alternative question is, what will the total fallout be if Dean loses WI and drops out?
This is a big question in my head, as I am trying to sort out if the past year has engaged enough of a dialogue on grassroots democracy to finally wake democrats up from their spineless fear and impotence.

Will the ideals of the Dean Campaign continue to flourish if he's gone?
What will happen to Bush's beatability without Dean in the Debate?
