How Dean Could Win . . .

Quote from AAAintheBeltway:

I tend to agree. But there are important differences. Bush Sr. was respected but never really connected with the voters. He faced one of history's more gifted cmapaigners in Bill Clinton. Dean has nowhere near the charm and charisma that Clinton could direct like a fire hose at the nearest camera. Dean comes across as angry, which a lot of Democrat activists like but the average voter will not. And most voters seem to feel pretty comfortable with Bush. The disputes and arguments are over inside baseball stuff that the average voter doesn't care about.

While Clinton's extraordinary talents are notorious, I do recall the Ross Perot factor being rather significant in '92. Ralph Nader won't quite do the trick for Dean in '04.

Excellent observation. In fact, Nader was the Perot for Gore last time.
