Ok, but what do we do about it?

Name calling's fun, but where does it get you?

Even if primary voters were mistaken, Dean still didn't win the primaries. I mean, the calculus that individuals voters go through in choosing a candidate didn't work out in Dean's favor.

I can't say I'm too interested in debating the value of the candidates, but why should people have voted for Dean? If John Kerry weren't a veteran, he probably would have still won the primaries.

I can't tell you what Dean had to offer, and most people who follow normal media probably can't either. The press that Dean got was about his fundraising and his presumptive lead due to the money he had. It was rarely about his views on anything.
