but when it comes right down to a war, there are really only two sides. Mr. Dean will have to make up his mind. Some will see the Populist Movement as weakening the Democratic Party and will resist, hoping for some comfort from the status quo. Granted the Corporatist run Democratic Party is stronger, but just killing us slower. Our founders could have tried to work within the system to bring about changes they could have lived with but they chose to make a break. I think that's where we are now. One has to choose between Corporatism or Populism.

Dean won't be the only politician that will struggle with this choice.
