[lbo-talk] Dean: Yesterday's Real Stinker

[Michael Dawson -PSU]

Who says it's suicidal?  What if Dean harped on the point every single day,
then launched a huge blitzkrieg of ads on the topic when he got the ability
to do so?  I believe that would work.

Meanwhile, what will actually happen is that he'll forego the principled
position and shuffle the issue into his deck of cards, most of which will be
ads showing how he'll be a better manager of the status quo than Bush.

Dean's campaign reform agenda = Clinton's $60-billion jobs program in 1992,
IMHO.  The former may actually survive until Dean takes office (not likely,
admittedly), but the end result will be the same -- a forgotten wisp of
smoke.

BTW, I'm not necessarily saying all this means I won't vote for Dean.  I
might.  I'm just saying that we leftists shouldn't be fooled by what he
probably is.
