In fact, the campaign was substantive and very much policy driven -and what impressed me most about Dean (and his supporters) was his willingness to interact with supporters- to listen to ordinary people and even change his mind on occasion.
Those sorts of colloqueys whether online or in person- and what went on in meet-ups and such was exactly the opposite of what one see in cults. It was critical thinking, and there was response to feedback.
A VERY different dynamic in many, many ways than what I've observed with Obama's campaign.
Interesting, I recall something Matcom's dad said at the time- it stuck with me, because it was so true: "the movement made Dean."
Not the other way around.
