140. the pacifist Dean?
Well, for one brief instant in time, Dean did stand out as a lone voice against the invasion.

I have my own litmus tests to determine who I should vote for, I was always hoping for Dean, even though I knew he was something of a centrist or right-of-center in his home state. But he was for normalizing the relations with Cuba, something no President has ever tried to do since Jimmy Carter. Kerry still wanted to play the embargo card, he was hoping for some of the S. Florida Cuban-American vote to win that state.

Besides, Vermont seemed like it had a few leftists. Not to say that Gov. Dean or Sanders were ever true native Vermont leftists, they are NY imports who moved into the state for matters of convenience.
