I agree with Nerd on this. But I would consider this a minor matter compared with the many other reasons for a regime change in 2004. To be frank, I would support SpongeBob SquarePants or Howard the Duck if I thought they had a chance of getting the Bush Administration out of there before they can finish turning this country into what they want to turn it into.

Of the nine candidates vying for the Democratic nomination, Howard Dean is on my short-list (one of the three best). Even if, in your opinion, he is not "ideal" on every issue (and no candidate ever will in everyone's opinion), it's necessary to keep your eyes on what's really important.
