Reply #20: For A Variety of Reasons [View All]

Probably for the same reason we aren't all behind Dean: Notions of who can win and who can't are fairly specific to supporters and detractors of specific candidates.

For some he will never be a Democrat.

For some he will never be too liberal enough.

For some he is tainted by his military service.

Those of us who support him think he can win, just as those who support Dean think he can win.

For a number of reasons there's a good possibility that whomever "wins" our party's nomination this election isn't going to "win" when it counts, i.e. the general election.

That's the only winning I care for.
