Mike McArdle: Why Howard’s not George

[davecullen]

Excellent pithy little piece by Mike McArdle, putting the lie to the big argument that Dean will bring down the Dems because he's the next big McGovern. I've been ranting about the phoniness of this argument in my blog for awhile, and nice to see Mike pull it all together so well.

I also expanded on some thoughts he raised below. I've been wondering why some neocons like George Will were among the first big proponents of this idiotic argument:

That will also link back to my earlier arguments making some of the same points and Mike, and comments by others.

Thanks Mike. Well done.

1. Links added

I'm sorry, I said I would have links in that post to earlier items on McGovern. I was about to go add them as soon as I posted, but inevitably got pulled away. They're there now.

3. Thanks for the kind words

It's gratifying for an amateur dabbler like
myself to receive a good review from a professional
writer.


Thanks again.
