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.

Pat Buchanan's and Taki's mag. Scott McConnell is generally thought of as a moderate in conservative circles, while at the same time, out in front on the immigration issue.
I think about every other issue there is an article written from an Old Right libertarian.
Lets grant your point. I stand by my position that attempting to paint Dean as a radical leftwinger in light of the preformance of the current President (even if you see him as conservative and I see him as an LBJ spender) I believe you will aid in his campaign which I see as him modeling after Clinton (recall the Sistah Soldier moment, the coddling dictators moment, and the middle class tax cut.)
