Reply #30: Dean was too conservative for many people's taste

[MrBenchley]

and he finished no better than third in every primary but his home state of Vermont's....

Let's share a bit more of this Business Week article with the rest of the class...

"When Canada's Husky Injection Molding Systems Ltd. wanted to build a new manufacturing plant on 700 acres of Vermont farmland in the mid-'90s, for instance, Dean greased the wheels. Husky obtained the necessary permits in near-record time. "He was very hands-on," says an appreciative Dirk Schlimm, the Husky executive in charge of the project.
And when environmentalists tried to limit expansion of snowmaking at ski resorts, "Dean had to show his true colors, and he did -- by insisting on a solution that allowed expanding snowmaking," says Stenger. IBM, by far the state's largest private employer, says it got kid-gloves treatment."

Guess that means Howard Dean thinks lying about WMD and Iraq-911 connections are at least somewhat justified...remember, no compromise, no deals, no moderation period. (snicker)
