I still think his best record was when he recorded Surf City with Jan. I could dance to it.

Seriously, I am a bit concerned about Dean's experience just as Heric is. However, Nerd is right in the fact that you really can't compare the size or makeup of the state to the qualificiations of running the country. You can never be sure until they are actually doing the job. How well they have handled the situations they were faced with is a good indication of how they can handle the presidency, but how they work with Congress is a huge issue. Dean seems to have alienated some Democrats, which actually might be a good thing. Still, I can't help but think of Jimmy Carter who approached Washington as if he were truly running the show. Without the ability to work with the Senate & Congress, can any President truly turn things around?

I'm leaning to Dean, but I'm still not sold.
