I realize some of you are new to politics, but come on I am not that old or schooled in political science, but I can see a bad tactic when its right in front of my eyes.

Dean has populist appeal much like Clinton did in 1992, and antagonizing the base will only make him more popular. The better tactic is to remind voters that he is pro-gun and rather moderate, boring and unoriginal.

Most of Dean's appeal stems from how much the establishment hates him and paints him as a far leftists in order to make radical socialists like Kerry and Gephardt look moderate. In so doing, Dean will actually have to move Right somewhere-- I suspect immigration or guns when Bush comes out for the Assault Weapons Ban in the Fall.

Of course I could be wrong, but that is how I see it playing out.
