I am throwing my support behind Wesley Clark (not merely because of this, that is, but it's a good quote).

"If [Republican strategist] Karl Rove is watching today, Karl, I want you to hear me loud and clear: I am going to provide tax cuts to ease the burdens for 31 million American families -- and lift hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty -- by raising the taxes on 0.1 percent of families -- those who make more than $1,000,000 a year. You don't have to read my lips, I'm saying it," Clark said.

to be honest, part of what makes me nervous about dean is how defensive his supporters get when you say anything unflattering about him. i'm just sayin'.

I think that's to be expected when the nerd constituency is one of your biggest supporters.

well, you know, i'm a nerd. all my life, most of my friends have been nerds. i know nerds. and, well, i hate to say it, but... i don't want a nerd to be my president. i want someone who's not only smart and knowledgable, but who's able to moderate his opinions with common sense and is capable of high-level diplomacy.

and speaking as a nerd, i'm pretty comfortable saying most nerds i've met aren't up to those challenges. i know i'm not.

i should probably step out of this discussion entirely before i end up in a flamewar i haven't got the patience to finish.

I wouldn't object to a nerd president, but Dean's definitely not a nerd. He's not much of anything, except a wannabe, in my view. That's pretty much why i won't support him, although seeing the other Democrats dogpile on him would make me normally want to cheer him on. There's just something wrong with him.

It looks Photoshopped... but it's still scary.

Hm. I thought "Dean is not leftist" was something his detractors said. Hell, I gave up on figuring out what was going on with this campaign when Sharpton was the candidate who most consistently said things I agreed with. I don't know if it's me or the campaign, but something's definitely gone screwy.

Kucinich has said a fair amount of things that i've agreed with, too. It's definitely Bizarro World in some respects.

I'm just annoyed that we're debating a candidate in terms set by Karl Rove.
