The media have been doing their best to protect Dean. Can you imagine what it is going to be like once he gets the nomination? They will have to show him. And he will not play in Peoria. Howard Dean is the live incarnation of Charles Emerson(?) Winchester (the third?) from the old MASH series. He is an arrogant, snobbish elitist. Even the beast is more charming. Average Americans will be repelled by him. And this does not even take into consideration his kook left policies!
Dean will win big in Santa Monica and the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Paint the rest of the country red.
Can't wait to watch him explain his "confederate flag" remark to the congregants in those black churches -- or his "bike path" Congregationalist conversion to the folks in those Southern Baptist churches.
