Rush said that the dems will not officially stop Dean .. because in reality - Dean is saying what the dems really believe about repubs.
While some of the dems may pretend they don't agree with what Dean's saying .. in reality they do agree. But .. since the dems don't operate in reality very often .. I'm sure it's a shock for the dems to actually hear in public what they say about us in private.
I think this is true - for the moveon.org faction (and Soros et.al_ ).
Some of the former Democrat Party apparachik may believe it, but know better than to say it.
Problem for these dems is the 527 and moveon faction bought the party - they spent more money last campaign than Bush and Kerry combined. And they wanted Dean, would try to kill those Dems who opposed him. Unless THEY decide Dean's out…
Man, they are so screwed...
