both of you have once again missed the point. not unusual for right wing republicans.
the point is, DEAN KNOWS AT SOME POINT THEY WILL ALL HAVE TO RALLY AROUND THE PARTY NOMINATION. he is saying do not give the republicans food for thought, assuming republians think.
by now the republicans have vetted dean, his wife, his mother and father, his first date in high school, and if they can't find anything bad they will do what they did to mccain, lie. "he is against breast cancer research"
and they will do this with the same zeal they used to cover up all of w's illegal, immoral, and distasteful past.
it's a pity, the democrats just don't understand, nor will they ever, how to street fight.
probably bush again.
