But make no mistake, deals have been cut. That's the only way Gore would be doing this. Otherwise the rest of the party was set to watch Dean fall flat on his ass in November 04.

What? Do you think deals don't get cut to get support? There's always a "what's in it for me" factor in politics. That's the way it is. What's in it for Dean is he gets help in November. What's in it for everyone else is they get their issues on the front burner with Dean. They say you run to the left in the primary and the center in November. That's what Dean is doing now except he's already setting up for November to run from the middle. Except a lot of Deanie Boppers are going to be saying Dean "sold out" when he moderates.
