Day in and day out, this is the clearinghouse for great writers, such as this take on why Dean appeals to Libs:

Indeed, to listen to Dean speak, one quickly gets the feeling that he carries an "I'm-smarter-than-everyone-else-and-I-know-what's-best-for-you" attitude. That same attitude is reflected in the "voters are stupid" reaction to the California recall. This accounts for why Dean is receiving so much support from that portion of the left that is wired into the Internet. If Tell's article is any indication, it also goes a long way to explaining Dean's popularity among much of the Democratic base.

This portends disaster for the Democrats in 2004 should Dean be the nominee. American voters do not like to be condescended to, to say the least. Perhaps someone in the Dean campaign will urge the governor to do a personality overhaul. But don't expect the Democratic rank-and-file to demand it. After all, Dean makes them feel good about their prejudices.

The Libs do think they are smarter than...well, anyone on the right. I love the 'Bush is stupid' crowd, they are too friggin' predictable. Suits me, especially if the trend that put a majority in congress and Arnold in Sacramento continues. I find it hard to conceive that a group of people are hoping for the things to go bad in Iraq, which includes the death of American service people, so they can regain a government office. Pathetic.
