The Cool Passion of Dr. Dean Meets the Hot Bias Of Time


Just a lot of things to dislike about John Cloud's Time piece.

"especially the South, which Dean talks about as though it's another planet."

"What's unclear is whether he has surged because contributors and poll respondents think he is a new kind of Old Democrat—a candidate who will finally revive the left—or because those contributors and respondents know the truth—he is a rock-ribbed budget hawk, a moderate on gays and guns, and a true lefty on only a few issues, primarily the use of U.S. military power, which Dean seems to regard with a mixture of contempt and suspicion."

"it's hard to imagine Dean's glorious season ending without disappointment. Either he will alienate the mainstream by tacking left in order to keep his troops in their combat sandals, or, more likely, they will shed a tear when they learn who he really is."

What planet is this guy from?
