In one way, Dean's campaign used to be based on fear

[Cocoa]

I had forgotten about this, and something just reminded me.

When Dean made the decision, or if you prefer when his supporters made the decision :-), to forgo public campaign money, one of his justifications was that Bush had so much money.

I remember finding Kerry's response very interesting. He said, I think you're letting Bush's money scare you too much. I remember being struck by how confident he was about it, similar to the confidence with which he literally laughed at poll numbers.

2. entirely different than what I'm talking about

I'm not disputing the decision to forgo the funds, I'm commenting on Dean's argument that the dems were in trouble without Dean's money machine.

3. "Was a candidate?"

I thought that Dean was still in this thing?
