I agree with Tophat almost entirely.
If you think Dean is an ultra liberal, you haven't been paying attention.
Dean got A's from the NRA, Republicans in his state loved him... more than the Dems did. He did a great job with his state's fiscal footing.
Clinton was almost a republican mole in the policies he pushed. He talked good liberal policy but when it came down to it he further pushed down gays, opened our federal wildlands to more exploitation, at a faster pace than in most years preceeding him, he passed a very republican welfare reform that got the poor off it quicker, but did nothing to help them better themselves while doing it.. I could go on. Clinton was part of the DLC whose purpose was to out-conservative the republicans. I was never enamored with him.
I am happy that Dean is leading us now.
