Was DK speaking in front of 2,000 people back then. (or now , for that matter)? There's no doubt that DK has been marginalized by the press. No argument there.

I would argue that Dean IS Liberal. Voting for some "conservative" policies does not a conservative make. If we're talking paleo-cons here, they aren't wrong on everything, imho. Balanced budgets, states rights, to name a few. One could consider the Patriot Act a neo-con philosophy; does that make the Dems who supported it neo-cons? I think we both agree that that's BS.

As for "watch(ing) this all go down," I would submit that one must consider the prism through which one viewed it. As a Kucinich supporter, one would be thinking "But DK is the real anti-war candidate. How could they?" As a Kerry supporter, one would be thinking "Jeez, considering the long list of accomplishments of my candidate, all this media attention seems misappropriated." As a Dean supporter, one would be thinking "Activating at the grassroots is extremely effective." As a Boooosh supporter, one wouldn't be thinking at all.


Perception. And perspective.
