Arianna Huffington- Ghosts Of Landslides Past
<snip>

I swear, if I hear one more Democratic honcho say that Howard Dean is not electable, I'm going to do something crazy (maybe that's what happened to Britney in Vegas this weekend).

The contention is nothing short of idiotic.

Consider the source: the folks besmirching the Good Doctor's Election Day viability are the very people who have driven the Democratic Party into irrelevance. Who spearheaded the party's resounding 2002 mid-term defeats? Who kinda, sorta, but not really disagreed with President Bush as he led us down the path of preemptive war with Iraq, irresponsible tax cuts and an unprecedented deficit?

Dean is electable precisely because he's making a decisive break with the spinelessness and pussyfooting that have become the hallmark of the Democratic Party.

Dean is electable.

He's not my #1 guy, but he is electable....

2. Considering the part she played in handing CA to Arnold
I don't put much faith in her assessments of Dean's candidacy.

4. It was all her fault?

Yeesh, she quit to support Gray Davis. You're hard.

3. Considering Kucinich actually VOTED against Bush, she's right
What we need is someone who's got a backbone.

Kucinich has already proven his in Congress.

He's already beaten three incumbent Republicans.

He's ready to get the UN in and the US out of Iraq and end Halliburton's sweetheart deals.

That's the candidate I can vote for.
