41. Typical rhetoric...
1) More guns? How? Dean supports enforcing current gun legislation and closing the gunshow loophole. Any additional restrictions, he leaves to the states (because states like Montana have different gun control needs than states like New York). How does this result in "more guns"?

2) I'm not 100% with him on the death penalty, but he certainly doesn't have a history of actively seeking pro-death penalty legislation (Vermont has no death penalty).

I don't think Gov. Dean IS the "Liberal's Godhead". I believe he speaks to a wide cross-section of Democrats as a centrist. For me, the major attraction is his pragmatism and willingness to state his position, be it popular or not.
