39. How can anyone's anitcs be too juvenile
for voters who are capable of voting for Ahhhnold?

That's the biggest flaw in democracy; the average voter doesn't have a clue why they vote the way they do. It's some kind of blind visceral reaction having virtually nothing to do with real issues. I've heard people walking into the polling place say they hadn't decided who to vote for yet. So much for rational decision making.

The candidate that wins will be the one that can both present thoughtful answers to policy questions for those who are paying attention, and connect at the visceral level with those voters who don't pay attention. We need both to win an election. Dean delivers on both counts.
