6. I think that is Dean's longer term goal
I think with Dean we have a shot at the White House and taking the senate back in 2004. The senate party democraghics would still be close, but we have a shot to get the Dems back in the majority. With Dems in control of the senate, Dean would be able to get his judiciary appointees passed.

The House will be a longer term goal, especially if Texas' redistricting holds up under court review. It will take a massive grassroots movement to reshape the red and blue states from the local and state offices in order to have an effect on the House makeup.

Unlike the other 8 Dems, Dean, I sense, forsees the problem he'd have getting his policies through Congress with the Repukes in total control of Congress. His campaign will not just be about getting him in power, but about reshaping the power between the parties in the nation. That's why he will campaign in every state, especially the red states, bringing his vision for America that he stated in his Great American Restoration speech. And after getting into the White House, he'll be campaigning to get more Democrats in state offices and in Congress.
