When Karl Rove is overheard during a parade saying "Dean's the one we want to run against," I tend to believe that. It's what we call in the law, "an excited utterance." He also probably didn't expect to be overheard.

When GOP pollsters put out a MEMO discussing Dean's electability, it seems a bit more contrived.

I don't think Dean is unelectable. He is electable. But he's just not as electable as Clark, given Clark's unimpeachable foreign policy bona fides and his status as a military Southerner, a huge bonus in the important Southern states.
