200. don't dismiss the idea so readily

many voters where turned off from Dean for exactly the reasons many of his followers were turned on. What you saw as enthusiasm, many others saw as something bordering on fanaticism.

A large part of Dr. Dean's campaign (especially early on) focused on attacking the Democratic Party establishment. I don't think that was completely a bad thing, but it did alienate a lot of people - people who he would have eventually needed to win the nomination.
