Crucial Endorsement - Grave-dancing cartoonist

Crucial Endorsement - Grave-dancing cartoonist Ted Rall has endorsed Howard Dean.

He says this on the "Dean For America" blog:

" Howard Dean has the best chance to beat Bush.

Brilliant, aggressive and moneyed... Dr. Dean has a corner on the single most important issue to Americans: health care.

Huh?

I suppose there is a large class of Americans who can completely ignore what's going on outside our borders - or what went on here, two years ago.

Are they a majority? I doubt it. God help us if they are.

This next bit is hilarious:

But the rubber would really tear up the road at the presidential debates, where Dean's dry, sardonic Long Island wit would devastate the hapless Bush--and charm television viewers.

Astounding, isn't it?

Does "dry, sardonic Long Island wit" play in Peoria? Especially a Peoria that knows that Bush has handled the presidency well, and isn't buying Dean's ostrich-head-in-the-sand rhetoric?

Medved's prediction - that next fall will be a historical landslide - is sounded better and better.

And that's ignoring the effect of the crucial Rall endorsement!
