Dean is right where Obama wants him

[mdmc]

Someone has to call it like it is.
In the end, anything that can be done through the 55+ republicans and Dulce's in the senate won't be much more then a small step in the right direction.
Obama would have never campaigned on this shitty health insurance reform bill. But this is all that we can get.

Dean has a hard job to do. He needs to keep the Kucinich purists in the fold. Not a very easy job.

Obama needs someone on the left to make Obama look more moderate. GO HOWARD DEAN!

(in other words, Obama wants Dean out there advocating for change. Dean wants Obama out there calling him out and running straight up the middle. This is all orchestrated. This is all for media consumption.
