10. Everybody said the same things about Ronald Reagan
when he ran against Gerald Ford in the 1976 primaries. He lost but because he gathered a large following he was able to re-form the Republican party and gave rise to modern Conservatism and its appeal to the moderate Democrats. That movement has been hijacked by the neocons and there are a lot of disenchanted Republicans. I heard Christy Todd-Whitman on PBS this AM and she was very hard on the powers shaping White House policy.
Dean is positioned to do the same thing and appeal to those disenfranchised Republicans as he re-builds the party and refines the message as one of true human values.
