This isn't about liberal vs. conservative. Anyone who says Dean is too liberal doesn't have a clue what he or she is talking about.
Likewise anyone who says that Dean wants to ignore the South is either living in Bizaro world or watching too much FoxNews.
I think Dean will do a better job than McAuliffe (not hard, i know), but he won't be the savior of the Democratic Party as some expect. He doesn't have much power and he's dealing with a party full of weak concessionists, a gutless corporate-controlled media, and a misinformed and fearful electorate.
In the end, Dean was the best choice because he brings new ideas and energy to a party with little of both. From what I say from him today, he gets it and he will do a great job.
