Dean & McGovern

No....
The country has changed alot, I can't see someone fairing as badly as McGovern again.  Even being the weakest of candidates, Dean still has Massachusetts, RI, VT, NY, DC, CT, and HI in the bag, which gives him a solid 64 Ev's.

DC would probably go Sharpton if he ran as a 3rd party candidate.
In fact, he could go down in the record books as the first 3rd party candidate since 1968 to get some ev's.

No he wouldn't.  Most of black america HATES Sharpton.  But if he was the Dem he might win it narrowly.

FYI-- DC is the only place with EV not to vote for both parties at least once.  It has always voted Democrat, even int he landslide losses of Dean and Mondale, oh I meant McGovern and Mondale

Dean will lose big, and sweep in 3-5 more GOP southern senators and 7-10 more house members.

As Sen Zell Miller (D-GA) said Dean is taking the worst part of the McGovern campaign ( Anti-war) and the worst part of the Mondale campaign (MASSIVE TAX INCREASES) and combingin them as the centerpieces of his campaign.

McGovern and Mondale were bad candidates who lost decisively, but they weren't complete clowns like Sharpton is.  Comparing them to Sharpton is unfair and inaccurate.

I would just like to point out to everyone a article I came across actually comparing Geroge McGovern to Howard Dean.  Check it out... http://www.boston.com/news/politics/president/dean/articles/2003/12/26/dean_supporters_reject_comparison_to_72_mcgovern/

Good article.  Thanks, MAS.
