28. Of the objective was to run against BUSH, then then it makes sense

McCain didn't survive the Bush machin in the primaries. If he'd have gotten through the primaries, he wouldn't have been running against Bush. He'd have been running against Gore. And might have won.

Would you say that Dean, in the primaries, was running as much against Bush's machine as against his fellow Dems? I would.

Even if you don't agree that he was already fighting Bush during the primaries, I still say if he couldn't survive fellow Democrats working against him, he was never going to make it against Bush and esp. Rove.

The primaries were just the dress rehearsal. The big guns weren't even out yet.
