71. Because they are AFRAID...
because Dean has so much grassroots support and the DLC doesn't like to lose control. Evan Bayh, Joe Lieberman are wishy-washy Bush-lite politicians and don't want to rock the boat by bashing Bush---DEAN is not afraid to speak up about the Bush cartel.

Why would Evan Bayh bash Dean? I would say that doesn't make him much of a close friend and that isn't very smart on his part---and the same for Joe Lieberman.

The DLC thinks they rule and they don't. Their opinions don't matter to the people because the people rule and the people will decide who the next president is---NOT the DLC. They will say and do anything to diss Dean because he is rising in the polls and unfortunately he is the object of derision by those who are jealous of his popularity by the grassroots.

Dean is a pragmatist, and YES, I would call being centrist very pragmatic. That has always been his governing style.
