McGovern wasn't even a speck on the radar screen when Muskie had that "episode" in the snow - and I agree it WAS a dirty trick. But doing it "for" McGovern? Not in their wildest dreams did CREEP have any idea that McGovern could even come close to the nomination in 1972.

This is ALWAYS said about Democrats in the primary because they run to the base of the party. After the convention, Dean's record will be scrutinized closely - and frankly, it's hard to call it "moderate" - it's actually pretty conservative save the civil union issue and MAYBE health care.

Your argument doesn't hold up at all. And by the way, if ROVE wanted DEAN, do you really think they'd let it be known - even accidentally? Or, would in Karl Rove style would they want you to think that's who they "want"????
