argument. . ."What do we do about Dean?"

By taking him on in this fashion, he's still allowing Dean to frame the debate. "Dean's opposition to the war was wrong" immediately brings up the question "WHY? HOW WAS IT WRONG?" - when Dean's opposition, and the reasons for it are pretty godamm sensible and clear and have thus far proven far more correct than anyone else's. Most especially anyone who voted for the Iraqi resolution that abdicated Constitutionally-given powers of the Congress to the Executive Branch.

I like John Kerry (Frenchy-looking though he may be - JUST KIDDING) but if he's gonna switch tactics in such an obvious, heavy-handed manner he's gonna make us all forget Gore's alpha male turnaround.

Talk to us, John. Talk to us like we're real live people. Don't tell us what's wrong with Howard Dean. Tell us what's wrong with George Bush. And if part of THAT is admitting you were snookered by a post 9/11 fervor for war, at least level with us.
