He may have criticized Bush for his handling of the Iraq war but I'm not convinced that he wouldn't have gone after Sadam militarilly.

I'm unclear as to his position on gun control, also. He seems to favor "the right to bear arms" which might put him in the gun lobby pocket.

I think I have to go with Kendall on this, though. He will appear too "rad" for the general population. Bush is winning this propagand war, unfortunately. If Dean turns up as the candidate of choice for the Democratic party I will support him as "the lesser of two evils".

It may be that he is more of a populist than I think. But I have reservations about him based on his statements about being pro-Israel and not enough balance on the Middle East situation.
