I find the claim doubtful. I would like to hear your
reasons for holding it.

This is the way I see things, please feel free to tell
me where I go wrong. Dean was not a threat to the
system, nor was the little bit of buzz around his
campaign. And way way too much is at stake. The Dems
want to win. They would have backed Dean if they
thought he could have won. I did, for a while,
tenattively,w hen it looked like he could win. The
Dems like Kerry -- hell, I like Kerry -- because they
think he might be able to win. Policywise Kerry's not
that different from Dean. But Dean had big negatives
when people _saw_ him; unlike you, I don't think that
the reaction was purely generated by press hostility.
He campaigned poorly generated dislike. He annoyed
people.

What do you think?
