And that means Dean.

Clark is a sitting duck from April to August due to his use of matching funds. Rove will have him in the fish barrel for five months without the legal ability for Clark to fight back. Only Kerry and Dean have bitten the bullet and declined federal funds.

Kerry hasn't been successful in raising funds from Democratic voters, although his personal fortune may buy him some extra months of competitiveness.But he DESPERATELY needs a primary victory in NH, which looks like a long shot bid at this point.

Dean has his warts, but he has inspired record numbers of supporters to get out the ol' checkbook. He raised more money in a single quarter than any democrat, including Bill Clinton who was a sitting president at the time.

That was my journey to Dean.
