Is The "Washington Insider" Term Meant To Alienate All Of Congress?
Advertisements [?]
Am I missing something, or is Dean rearing the Democratic wing's ugly head all over again? God forbid he should win, he will have to work with these "insiders" to pass his agenda.

In the more immediate sense, though, he has effectively alienated the supporters of every candidate except Wes Clark (the outright lie about being a Republican took care of that).

I don't know about the supporters of other "Washington Insiders," but everytime I hear it, it only reminds me of what an upstanding person he is.

It's almost hard to believe now that he was my #2 choice. I'm still ABB, but barely. I'd really have to hold my nose to vote for Dean.

But, in the spririt of open discussion, what the hell is Dean doing by pissing off every other campaign? It's not like he's disagreeing on policy matters. He's just trying to win cheap points by tooting his "outsider" image.

Personally, if Kerry drops out, I will most certainly lend my efforts to whatever person in the race is not Dean. I wonder if I'm alone.
