Dean: Theoretical Iconolast [View All]

[StandWatie]

I keep catching this theme just barely under the surface of Dean/Clark friction.

You have Dean fans who can be broadly catagorized as democrats who are angry with the party establishment and see some sort of savior in Dean (very unlikely, but I find myself backing him for lack of other options).

You have Clark fans who seem to be desperately grabbing for some peace of the Clinton years to coddle and hang on to and seem absolutely insulted that anyone would even begin to imagine there was anything wrong with the party.

Does anyone else pick that theme up? Like it's not even a primary about the people, it's a referrendum on the state of the established party?
