Because he is an outright, unapologetic Leftist who has a good chance of getting the nomination.
Dean is still fighting an uphill battle. He needs to do well Iowa, where Gephart has the clear advantage. If Dean doesn't win NH, his campaign is likely finished, and Kerry will be strong there, especially with his regional ties.
OTOH, Dean has passionate supporters everywhere, which cannot be said of any other current Dem candidate.

I hope you're right that Dean still has an uphill battle. There's much to fear about someone with his political views getting anywhere near the presidency.

Dean doesn't have to win Iowa or New Hampshire. Low expectations in Iowa can be spun into a victory. A strong second in NH would be ok. A second for Kerry in NH would be fatal. If Dean beats Kerry or Lieberman in Iowa he lives to fight another day. As I said a 35 to 34 loss in NH, Dean will still live to fight in MI,SC,DEand AZ.
