I'm guessing you also thought Mr .00005% ( aka Pat Buchanan ) was a "viable" conservative candidate in 2000.

[Kevin Curry]

McClintock has 21 percent of the Republican support versus 39 percent for Schwarzenkennedy. A shift of a mere 9 percent of that support would bring the two candidates into a tie. A ten percent shift would give McClintock the lead.

McClintock is a viable candidate--Buchanan was not.

McClintock's support is holding--actually climbing--despite a chorus of non-stop attacks by Schwarzenpubbies and the liberal media screaming that McClintock doesn't have a chance. That's pretty good for someone that you assure us is destined to be annihilated by Schwarzenkennedy.

I believe Dean will lose. Sure, I would be more than pleased if the Dims make him their go-to guy. But Dean is not McClintock. McClintock has a shot; Dean (at this point) does not.
