Even if the Dean faithful are forced to disperse, one thing is clear for now: they couldn't elect him just on their own. Only about 600,000 people have signed up at the campaign's website. Even if all of them were active in the campaign, they would constitute a support base about the size of the population of Vermont. In the meantime, the political establishment has no intention of letting Dean supporters drift away. Representatives from the Democratic National Committee (D.N.C.) have visited the Dean campaign to hear its ideas and on their own have started blogs, Meetups...

Speaking of Dean, you asked if the country is "willing to elect a Brahmin who grew up in East Hampton, N.Y., and on Park Avenue, who brings virtually no national-security experience to a post-9/11 nation." I ask if the country is willing to re-elect Bush, a Brahmin who grew up the son of a rich politician with a summer estate in Maine; who had no national-security experience when he entered office; who has effectively turned much of the world against the U.S. since 9/11.
