Better yet, maybe you could name one president the entire nation has supported in history.
Then you could sit back and realize that the reason the Dem's 'message' isn't reaching you is because the speaker isn't talking to you.
Then you can ponder the sting of having a leader that not only doesn't speak your language, but doesn't care to either. Of course, this is the position many in the country are in right now. The issue becomes whether we can mobilize our factions more than you. Until you learn that civics lesson I won't pay too much attention to your doomsday predictions regarding the efficacy of my representative's 'message.'
In short, Dean isn't too far 'left' for the people he's speaking to and the polls reflect that--he's just too far left for your ears; the problem for you is that he isn't counting on your vote nor will he need it.
