It was asked in the comment section of this post when I first though Dean would be the nominee. I have become less equivocal on the subject in recent weeks, but declared him the front-runner as early as August 5th.
Braun, Sharpton and Kucinich never had a shot, Kerry has been a train wreck of a campaigner and I have been upfront from the beginning that I didn't think that Clark had a chance. Lieberman is too pro-war and too conservative for the democratic nominating public. Edwards is too much a rookie, and really lacks a strong base to build off of. That leave Gephardt, who has an outside shot, but I think that Dean is best positioned to win it all.
I hope you're right. I don't see Dean beating Bush even if they catch him going into a crack house with Marion Barry.
