Reply #114: Well I don't know

I guess if the John Birchers lobbied me...endorsed me, I could keep my policies seperate from theirs. Why the hell would they select me in that case?

Wrong, I am quite sober in my appraisal of Dean and he makes no secret of where he is coming from. That's refreshing--I like that about him. But I am under no illusions that he is not as progressive as I am--and here is your conodrum --if Kerry advocates more liberal policies why does he attempt to characterize Dean as the marginaised "liberal unelectible" and why do so many Progressives find Dean more palatable? My guess would be that it has something to do with authenticity.
