Hell, I wanted him to be presdient. He's nowhere near as liberal that Kerry is fiscally, and yet I agree with him on most social and foreign policy issues . I think it's time we had a president who got visibly pissed off - nothing wrong with displaying a bit of fury when it is called for, particularly if you don't let it rule your actions.
But, failing that - since he peaked too early and had the equivalent of an Ed Muskie moment, I would be pleased as punch to see him running the Democratic party. No he will not unite the country. I don't believe that is necessary or desireable. What I hope is that he can begin to win the terms of debate away from the corporate whores, theocrats, and cryptofascists who have been setting them.
The fact of the matter is that a moderate is what is needed, but an extremist shifts the terms of debate. Dean is a moderate who talks like an extremist. That is a good thing.
