106. Gephardt couldn't unify the Dems
That's true. When the DLC, along with Dean, sold out every middle class American for corporate profits, Gephardt couldn't reconcile that with his base of American workers. Gephardt could have united the Democrats with populism, instead most Dem leaders were pimping Republican ideas on Medicare and privatizing Social Security.

Gephardt blew it, so now I guess it's Dean's turn to blow it? Rhetorical populism might win an election, but most people will stay home, like they always do.

The photo-op? Just as disgusting as Dean ass-kissing CATO.
