No doubt the Bush people, and most Republicans hoping for a landslide, wanted to run against Dean.

But looking back on it, it was just too much to hope for. Even former Dem landslide losers like McGovern and Mondale were level-headed military veterans who, while wrong on the issues, didn't pose a clear and imminent danger to the republic.

It was just unrealistic for us to think, in our wildest dreams, that the Dems ultimately were going to nominate such a wild-eyed, unqualified nasty little piece of business like Dean.

So we shouldn't feel bad today. It was just never in the cards. Let's rejoice instead in the good sense of the American people, even the Dems, and take some schadenfreude out of the defeat of this thoroughly unpleasant man.

and take some schadenfreude out of the defeat of this thoroughly unpleasant man.

You're correct... common sense prevails. On with the gloating!
