Dean For America, and screw the DNC

Liberal Rage Fuels Dean Campaign

Four-page article in the Times Sunday magazine. You have to register to read it - but it's free and they don't use your info for anything other than their own reference.

Quote:

The bad news for Dean's rivals, however, is that Democratic protest candidates have proved very effective at indelibly soiling whatever image the party is trying to convey at the moment. And you have to wonder if the other candidates, ensconced in Washington, have any real grasp of the grass-roots revolt that is fueling Dean's momentum. It's not surprising that the party's leaders feel like shoving Dean's stethoscope down his throat when he says they only care about sounding electable. What's harder to understand is why they seem so determined to prove him right.

very interesting..thanks for pointing it out. Oh, and a long time ago someone set up an account with NYTimes with the word to pass it around. bogus/bogus will get you in without having to submit any information.

To me, a lot of this article sort of came across as a backhanded slap -- like they were madder at Dean for taking on the DNC leadership than they were at the DNC leadership for being so eminently, uh, take-on-able.

Nonetheless, I didn't read a thing I didn't like.
