99. "Encyclopedic knowledge" is not going to beat Bush
I realize that Kerry has a great team to take Bush down, they have all the inside info. But this is not going to get anyone elected.

Kerry and Dean (and the other Dems) are not that far off as far as policies go. They all want better economic policies, reformed health care, equal rights, etc, all good Democratic values. There are some minor differences in policy, but when you constrast with Bush, the Dems are essentially the same. We are the party of workers rights, equal rights, etc.

But even this isn't enough to beat Bush. We have to have a candidate who can excite people, get them to the polls, make them BELIEVE that things can change. Dean is the only candidate I've seen who generates that kind of hope and excitement.
