67. I've always been very critical of Dean

Yeah, he's a moderate, yes, especially economically he's never been progressive.

Dean has a grassroots organization behind him. That's the difference - democracy. It's not about Dean, the second rate politician. It's about all the people that chose him as a figurehead for their movement.

Chomsky said it - why did the DLC attack Dean so much? It obviously wasn't because of Dean's record or his positions - the DLC mostly agrees with him. So why? Because Dean got the "unwashed masses" involved in his campaign, and that is what the DLC is afraid of.

It's not about the man it's about the movement.
