Howard Dean wins the 2004 Democratic nomination.

He would probably win. Really, if such a bad candidate as Kerry almost won, it's not hard to see someone as charismatic as Dean kicking Dumbya's ass.

And how is Dean better than Kerry?

[GLPman]

By no means was Kerry a solid candidate, but I still disagree that Dean would have been a better candidate. Dean had served as Governor of Vermont for years and was still little-known. Ray Goldfield's assessment is spot-on: Dean would've come off as too much of a leftist and inexperienced, which really would've crippled him in the midst of Iraq War debate. There's no way he would've been able to debate Bush as well as Kerry did. And then there's his temper.
