Mis-underestimating Dean

Unidentified Aide: "Sir, we have analyzed their plan of attack, and discovered a weakness in our defense system. Should we prepare your shuttle?"

General Tarkin: "What?! Evacuate in our finest hour? I think you overestimate their chances!"

Humorously, a lot of conservatives have been crowing about the election of Howard Dean to the DNC Chair. GOPUSA has posted commentary from one of the few who will publicly differ:

Excerpt:

"Dean's so-called "50-state strategy" could work. Look at what he plans to do in the reddest red state of them all, Nebraska. Last year - an election year - the DNC poured a paltry $12,000 into the state. Dean plans to pump $250,000 per year into Nebraska, starting this year. These funds will be used to promote city, county, state and federal candidates for office. His plan is to grow the farm team, and the GOP had better beware."

And later:

"Howard Dean plans to help elect thousands of candidates to office at every level. He will do it by changing the Democrat's message, not the substance, and Republicans had better pay close attention."
