Why losing is a real possibility...

...I want to preface this by saying that although I am not a Dean supporter in the primaries, I admire him, and will fiercely defend him should he be the nominee. I also believe that, just like the other candidates, most of his supporters are good-hearted people with the best interests of the country at heart.

That said, I have a real beef with something I heard on NPR this morning. A group of Dean supporters -largely UW students- were gathering at a meetup. Several were interviewed. One said he would not be supporting the nominee if it is not Dean, commenting that "...if the country isn't ready for Dean, then we don't deserve him, and we'll wait until 2008."

I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but what an ass. This isn't about one person - it is about grasping our country from the icy clutches of perhaps the worst, most corrupt administration in modern history -and we CAN NOT afford to "wait until 2008."

But maybe I'm being an asshole.
