And BTW, Dean's problems with his son are really not serious at all, compared to the problems Bill Clinton had during the 1992 campaign, so I wouldn't write him off quite so quickly. Dean was dead on with his remarks, and his actions. He said his son made a bad decision and stupid mistake, which isn't all that unusual for 17 year olds. He also got on a plane to go home and be with his family--also the right call. So, unless there are other serious problems with this kid, this isn't even really a bleep on the radar. Too many Americans have and are raising teenagers. If anything, it will gain him a good amount of empathy from those parents who have been there with their own kids.
