11. I certainly understood, and still do, the excitement around Dean in the horrible Bush years.

Besides that, Dean would never have actively sought out a primary opponent to a sitting Democratic president. Afterall, he is/was an actual "Democrat".

As I said before, I would gladly have supported Dean had he been successful in the primaries. However, I'm going to have to dig really deep to vote for a guy who is not a "democrat", and up to this point has taken much pride in the fact that he was not affiliated with the Democratic party. It smacks of opportunism, and strikes me more than a bit disingenuous.
