"Too bad his supporters didn't do their homework before pledging their support."

I wouldn't be so sure about this.
This is an anecdote. Excuse me if I don't use the name of the guy.

There's a friend of my mother's who has been fairly high up in the Sierra Club at particular points in his career. The radical David Broder wing of it, not the accommodationists wing. His activism has got him in trouble legally before.
This guy does his homework, let's put it that way.
If you ask him about his druthers he'll tell you he's for Kucinich, but he's supporting Dean. He thinks a Dean/Clark ticket would be very strong or even a Dean ticket regardless of who the VP is.
My feeling is that there are a lot of people like this.

& even though this is just one guy I'm describing, I think that the fact that the man I'm describing supports Dean indicates something about Dean.
