I've grown tired of responding to the charge that "Dean will be McGovern all over again" by simply saying "no, he won't," "Dean's a moderate, not a liberal," etc. So rather than keep repeating these responses over and over again to Republicans and anti-Deaniacs, what if we stopped running away from the association and instead turned it to our advantage.
To that end, I ask fellow Kossacks to test out this meme/idea/response:
"McGovern is to Dean what Goldwater was to Reagan: a harbinger of things to come."
Wadda think?
