3. He may even piss his base off more.
In fact, I don't see how he can avoid it.

If he wants to talk up the middle, he's going to have to promote some sort of program. Whether it's pro-people or pro-corporate, it's going to just flash "SPENDING SPENDING" to his base.

I'm sure he'll try to make a wedge issue out of gay marriage, but that was decided when it looked like Dean was a sure thing. Will it have any value against Kerry, or Edwards, or Clark, etc.? Could just be spinnig his wheels, pissing off his base, and not getting any traction against his opponent.

It'll be interesting to watch.
