Reply #183: Racine lost, Truman won [View All]

[dpbrown]

Dean knew he would lose in 2002, so he quit to "run for President." His proxy, Doug Racine, lost to Jim Douglas, Republican.

Truman, as we know, beat Dewey.

Republicans changed the Constitution so someone like FDR could never earn four terms again.

FDR also took America through WWII and saved it from the Depression.

Dean signed a law that the Vermont Supreme Court told the legislature it had to pass.

No, the comparison with FDR and popularity fails, not least because Truman (FDR's successor) won, and Racine, (Dean's "proxy") lost.

Dean, who has never beaten an incumbent Republican in his life, and whose every office once held in Vermont is now held by non-Democrats, was on his way to being shown the door in Vermont when he slipped out to "run for President."
