Stopping Dean

You’ll see a spate of “Democrats are searching for a way to stop Howard Dean” stories in the next few days. Democrats wouldn’t have had to scramble if they’d read this site, in which I’ve been noting for a while that Dean is the biggest threat to John Kerry’s chances of winning the nomination. As I first said in February:

John Kerry is clearly the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination; but, in my opinion, the person most likely to beat him isn’t Joe Lieberman (too hawkish, too soporific), John Edwards (too callow, too ambulance-chaser), Dick Gephardt (too blonde, too bland) or Bob Graham (too crazy, too grandfatherly.) The person most likely to beat Kerry for the nomination is Howard Dean.
