21. I think you're reading too deeply, deep thinker.

Dean's compassion stands out to me, so I chose to highlight it as one of the qualities that attract me to him.

Democrats might nominally stand for all those things, but the other candidates don't telegraph genuine concern for dispossessed people the way Dean does (at least to me). Even Kucinich doesn't convince me that he's really for the working poor. Rather, I think it's his hostility to the fundamental concept of profit that motivates him, not his concern for people. Dean is someone who tirelessly fights for poor people, yet who was friendly to business in Vermont. That's what Democratic centrism is all about.
