> Howard Dean Moves On—The Selling (Out) of the Antiwar Movement

Most George Bush supporters don’t really understand him or pay real attention to his policies. They just know that he is their guy. They can’t be bothered to dig into what he says or believes. He’s the man.
The same is true of Howard Dean supporters. They have never been able to see the forest for the trees. They feel thrilled to say that Dean is their guy. Don’t bother them with the facts about what he is or what he stands for. If the Democrats defeat the “Repubs” in 2006, it won’t be because of anything Dean does. And it most certainly will not make any difference to the average American. Or world citizen. But Dean is the perfect leader for the Democratic Party.
