    We'll never know...

    ...whether Dean could have won in 2004. But Kerry's own "electability" turned out to be exaggerated, didn't it? My own feeling is that under Dean, the Democrats would have at least escaped losing four Senate seats.

    Anyway, I'd rather have Dean as president, even a struggling one, then Dean as chairman of an opposition party.
