yay. one more person in the political world who doesn't really mean what he says.

and to superbelt, winning the support of republicans in vermont is nothing like winning a similar number of voters in a red state.

i think dean will be caustic and divisive. however, that's really his role. his objective has nothing to do with working with republican leadership, his job is to beat them into the dust. let the people we elect worry about working together once they climb up capitol hill... he is only concerned with doing what it takes to get them there.

that being said, i'm ecstatic that dean is the dem party chair. he may get widespread support in the liberal hamlet of vermont... but he will turn the rest of the country red if he continues in the path his past seems to indicate.
