Reply #21: We have 51 states now?

How long was I asleep?
Ok, you're asking how electable is Dean. I think he'll win any state that has a majority of African-American voters...any state with 51% of its voters in favor of gay marriage...any state with 51% pro-choice...and as Newsweek relates Dean was forced to apologize for saying that if welfare recipients “had any self-esteem, they’d be working,” any state in which all the welfare recipients are also too lazy to vote.
Sarcasm off. Even if the economy does a nose dive, I think he would lose because IMO domestic and economic issues have taken a back seat to security against foreign terrorism. Furthermore, news has it that sentiment is turning away from gay rights and pro-choice. People feel threatened and we've got an incumbent perceived to be very tough on furriners and very Christian about sinning. Therefore I doubt Dean will even win the nomination.
Sorry. I voted for McGovern, and he's no McGovern.
PS: Correct me if I'm wrong but I'd swear I heard Dean tell Tim Russert we needed MORE troops in Iraq.
