Has Dean wrapped it up?
Advertisements [?]
I know it's early, BUT - it looks to me like Dean has pretty much wrapped this thing up. Big union endorsements, incredible fund-raising, even more incredible connection to the anger that is motivating Dems, and his non-stop attacks on just about every idiotic, anti-American move made by the radical right. His closest challengers - Gephardt & Kerry - are having major problems with their campaigns. Worse, they just don't seem to be connecting with the rank-n-file Dems.

No matter where we Dems part company with Dr Dean (as I do on guns), I get that most of us feel that we part company with all the candidates on an issue-by-issue basis. The one issue that unites us is our opposition to this illegal war, and Dean has no equivocation on that point. Face it, if everything in Iraq had gone swimmingly, Dean would be toast at this point (and not because of repukes...his fellow Dems would have done him in).

Dean's the man. It's going to take a major, MAJOR FU on his part to lose this nomination.
