But pushing for it doesn't make you a liberal, IMO.

And no, I don't think that's a bad thing. Unlike most DLCer's he isn't openly HOSTILE to liberal ideas like single-payer and more people like him in office might be a good step TOWARDS getting more real liberals in office, who could eventually get the insurance companies (which you KNOW will gouge us all) out of the equation.

I like Dean very much, make no mistake about that. I gave him more than I could afford to in the primaries. I also gave to Kucinich, whose views are much more in line with my own.

"That's why we need him, he actually holds our views." Maybe he holds your views. I'm a left-wing liberal, so he doesn't hold mine. I just find his views to be palatable enough to go for, whereas the Breauxs and the Liebermans and the Froms are pretty offensive.
