I AM curious why so many posts being left here assume Dem voters are being 'fooled' into supporting a Dem candidate.

I didn't support Howard Dean in 2003 because his overall record was that of a centrist - there were further left candidates capable of a serious national campaign and I chose Kerry. However, if Dean was the only Dem in the race at the time capable of a national campaign, he would have had my full support. I wouldn't have been 'fooled' into supporting him. In fact, I watched Dean evolve into a more progressive Democratic leader by the end of that campaign BECAUSE of his supporters.
