37. who says that they'll never go back to being inactive?

I certainly don't. I know that Dean energizes young people and other disenchanted voters because I've seen it in the campaign, but I've always firmly held that this energy is nontransferable.

Dean can ask them to vote for other Democrats (like the eventual nominee if it isn't him), but they aren't robots and all he can do is ask (which he would do). The crowds, the meetups, the enthusiasm. It is all Dean driven and Dean specific. That's why I think he has the best chance to beat bush. No one else can capitize on it.
