Dean saved the Democrats [View All]

Dean probably won't be the nominee now, but he will still be the best thing to happen to Democrats in a long time. Believe you me, we would not be talking about the Iraq war now if it weren't for Dean. Most of the other Democrats would be stumbling over themselves to be Bush-lite and we would not have seen the record turnout we saw in Iowa. Furthermore, Dean showed that you can build a strong base at the grassroots level and raise money to compete with corporate-backed Republicans. Dean lost because he was the front runner for too long and was crucified the past few months because of it. But in the end, because of him and his campaign, he will be the sacrifice that saved the Democratic Party from the brink of destruction.
