Let Dean be Dean

The WashPost has a blistering editorial today on Howard Dean’s foreign policy which includes this retort: “The argument that this tyrant was not a danger to the United States is not just unfounded but ludicrous.”

But then I went to the Hedgehog Report and saw that President Bush would beat Dean by over 20 points in the general election. In fact, Bush would beat Dean by a wider margin than any of the other major candidates. Suddenly, I felt defensive of the former governor. Let’s give him a chance to be the Democratic nominee.
