I've been saying for a while that I don't think Howard Dean is George McGovern-- that the closest analog was probably Gene McCarthy. I'm not so sure that's right, either. I'm beginning to think that perhaps he's John Anderson. I do not think that Dean is going to bolt the Democrats, but I think that his appeal is more narrow than I'd hoped-- which is another way of saying, I guess, that I misjudged the beliefs of mainstream America. Not for the first time, either. Oh, well. On Wisconsin!
