Reply #18: Name one "out there" thing that he has actually done [View All]

Look at his record as governor of Vermont. He is hardly "out there". He is a stable leader with a good grasp of economics and social policy, every bit as good as the next guy. But where he really shines through is in his ability to speak from his heart and really get people to feel through him.

Why is the DNC so afraid of this? Why are they so determined to keep all passion out of their party? It's almost like they want to keep losing. If Dean gets character assassinated yet again, I think it's time that the the progressive wing of the USA looks seriously at third party alternatives. You're going to keep losing with the DNC around anyway, so why not start thinking long term and doing what is necessary to eventually turn things back around? It might been fracturing the vote in 2008 and losing, but you're going to lose ANYWAY with the current DNC leadership.
