Dean is my personal favorite. I don't think it's any surprise to anyone to know I tend to sway a little more to the left. He has the most stark contrasts to almost all of Bush's policies, which is fine by me. However, many of his critics tend to feel that any pure leftist can be as dangerous as any far rightist (as I tend to view Bush Jr.), which does hurt his chances a little bit. He also will likely not be as fully endorsed and funded by groups as much as some of the more moderate Dems., but he does have a strong grassroots backing. But like other Dems., he needs to continue to bring solutions to the table, regardless of the possible criticism, as opposed to continual lashing at every Neo-Con/GOP policy.
