He's not McGovern. He can, and will, move sharply toward the political center for the general election if he gets the nomination. KEEP THOSE CLIPPINGS regarding his current far-left bloviations, because come '04 the media will "forget" them to serve their party.
It doesn't matter if the "mainstream" media ignores in the future what Dean says today. New Media will insure that the public is never allowed to forget.
You are absolutely right. Dean is nothing like McGovern. Hillary is only trying to make the case that the Democrats would have won in 2004 if she had been drafted for the race. Westley Clark cold not win any race against anyone.
Those that think Westley Clark would be a winning candidate, think Larry King could win both the Republican and Democratic Nominations if he declared in both parties. Clark bombed on CNN during the Gulf War. He was supposed to be the CNN Star on his way to the presidency. His ratings sucked. He has no chance. 70 percent of the voters don't even know who he is and those that do know, don't like him.
