Reply #27: I think he would have won in 2004 because he was polarizing [View All]

and he would have taken the gloves off better on Bush/Cheney than Kerry did. He certainly would have been a better VP pick than Edwards because he would have had no problem smacking Cheney or Bush around in public.

That being said, we need to first get the bill through Congress...than we can worry about how its implemention. No bill through congress no need to implement it.

Dean is Polarizing. I like him, I really like him, however he's a boogieman to the right because of his gaffe in 2004 where he looked crazy and his past 4 years as party chair. It would be alot easier for the Repukes to turn this into a Dean vs. them battle than an Obama vs. them battle if he is the one pushing the legislation.

I think this is a strategical decision not a personal one. Both would do a fine job. One just would do a better job in the first phase.
