How is he better? He takes the worst part of the Mcgovern campaign (Peace at any cost) and the worst part of the Mondale campaign (rasing taxes when the economy is beginning to grow) as his campaign platform. People say they are going to vote for Dean out of pure hatred for Bush without even looking at his platform.
I think quite a few are ready to vote for him on the sole fact that he's not signing away bits of the Bill Of Rights(Patriot).

I am voting for Bush thus far. Unless Dean pulls a magic fucking rabbit out of his ass. I see no reason to vote for Dean other than he is just not Bush.

Why are there never any good canidates? I wish McCain would have won last time, or Breaux or Colin Powell would run. Ah well.

I think it's a bad sign in "The Land Of The Free" you only have 2 parties in the main stream. Here in Northern Ireland you can't move for fuckign political parties forming. IF i was american i'd vote for Dean. IMHO there is too much suspect about Bush, his close relations with Phoney Blair has only made that distrust worse.

I lean democratically to begin with, and Bush irks me more than enough. I'll still need to really take a look at things, but I'll either not vote, vote Dean, or vote third party, more'n likely.

Paul Martin. Not because I particularily like the guy (don't really dislike him, either, but don't know too much about him) but because he's the only candidate who isn't a total nutjob.

I cant stand Bush's stance on many social issues. I want him gone. I will vote with my head, and vote democratic rather than vote with my heart and go green(or oddly enough, libertarian. I may not agree on everything economically, but they stay the hell out of my personal life)
