Howard "Dr. No." Dean is starting to accumulate an entire assortment of campaign nicknames due to his multitudinous and unsavory personality quirks.
All candidates develop a reputation with the media. In 2000 the story line on Al Gore was his wildly exaggerated claims. Mr. Gore may not have said precisely that he "invented the Internet," but his propensity to tell "whoppers" got him tagged with the line nonetheless. Unfortunately for Mr. Dean, that's the kind of story line that's now emerging about him.After building a campaign on the anger of the Democratic electorate, the former Vermont governor can now be called "Backsliding Dean." He leaps forward with a bold statement aimed at pleasing his core supporters, but ultimately is forced to slide back because of the ludicrousness of his position.

Just as in the 2000 election, if the choice is between a normal human being and someone who is going to work out his psychological issues in front of us for 4 years or more, I pick George W. Bush -- regular guy.
