There is no such thing as a 'moderate or centrist' in the current climate, just the ability to appear as one. Dean can do this because nothing he did is that out of line with the general consensus of the Democratic Party.

I might be wrong but isnt Amcon a libertarian mag??

I will agree that you can look at polical labels as purely relative, but that doesnt yield much analytically.

If it did, then in the USSR in lets say 1939 everyone not a disciple of Trotsky was a right winger.

See what I mean?

Dean is no moderate, and you know it, he is not moderate either in comparrison to his dem rivals or the pubbies, he is more radical in many ways that McGovern who is his clear ideological father.

I know I come off as a pompous ass once in a while, but I have given this a lot of thought and dont see any mistakes in my logic.
