Reply #11: I'm a Dean supporter, and I think Dean would make an awful VP choice. [View All]

One, there is issue baggage. Dean is considered "antiwar," so that makes him incompatible with a lot of "prowar" candidates. Secondly, I don't think many want to deal with the civil unions if they can avoid it. These disadvantages to Dean cancel out when we look at his fundraising and organizational prowess at the top of the ticket, but with someone else running the campaign, they don't.

Secondly, Dean comes from Vermont which will go Democratic and is insignificant electorally.
