Leave Dean in place, he is one of the best things to ever happen to the Republican party.
Old British axiom : divide and conquer. There is a scientific basis for it : fermions and bosons. Fermions(the electrons, protons, neutrons - particles you are made of)"stack" in a pecking order. No 2 electrons in a given atom can have the same n(principal), l(line), m(magnetic) and s(spin)numbers : the Pauli Exclusion Principle. Turf, uniqueness, chaos, HATE are rooted in the Pauli Exclusion Principle. Thus dean, by dividing his resources, is doing the same dissipation into different states....Bosons are the LOVE particles(photons-lasars, gravitons-gravity, mesons)that LIKE to get into the same state. Thus if we republicans can come together on the issues that divide us, as a coherent bose FORCE, we'll blow dean and dems away next november.
