Dammot, I'm a Deaniac.
This is just a preview of a column by Howard Dean, but seriously, I love this man.
Dean is a centrist, that's not really debatable and certainly evidenced by the fact that he only won his fifth term as Governor of Vermont by just over 50% because he had a challenger on his right, and on his left. I always thought I was a die-hard leftie, but maybe I'm a centrist. Maybe being a centrist just means doing what makes sense. With Clinton centrism was a political calculation, the third way. With Dean it's a thought process.
I hope he never goes away.

Great, great article. Kudos to Dean for sticking to his principles and applying the same logic (and criticisms) to the Europeans that he applied to Bush -- where appropriate.
