It's not that I thought that, it's just that I wasn't sure. Come to think of it, I'm still not sure, so I guess my position really hasn't changed that much. But I'm not sure about the other candidates, either, and I worry that the darlings of the Democratic establishment might have the same sorts of problems that Gore had in 2000 in connecting with the electorate. Dean has something different about him, and having gotten more familiar with him, I think the sort of middle-of-the-road, not very into politics people who voted for Bush despite not really agreeing with his positions might vote for Dean (again, even if they don't particularly agree with his positions). But it's way too early to tell for sure.
It does concern me a bit that the Republicans seem to think that Dean is the opponent they want, but I'd like to see them surprised.
As I said (in your journal as well as here), though, I'll gladly pull the lever next to "Anybody but Bush".
