72. What I have never seen
is a post where you have not tried to claim that if a candidate doesn't fit into your pigeon hole, they cannot possibly be suitable.
The whole reason for Dean's wide appeal is that he doesn't fit on a right\left linear spectrum. He does not have the appearance of having developed political ideology based on doctrine.
He is a true scatter plot of public policy positions, and the advantage of that is he will match issues with several different groups.
You continually try to paint that as a negative quality. It's actually kind of funny, because many of us are practical enough to know that offering something for everyong attracts plurality, and is the stuff of winning elections. Demanding ideological purity isn't going to get us where we need to be for 2004.
