Dean Links

Over at Dean Nation, I have a post on why accusations that Dean has flip-flopped on Iraq are silly. From this post and the ensuing comment thread, you can also start to get glimmers on why I made the "leap of faith" that I did regarding his potential to shape an intelligent foreign policy. And while you're there, check out Dana Blankenthorn's post on what groups of Republicans might cross over to Dean.

On another note, Matthew Yglesias, who remains a Dean skeptic, comments on why he doesn't think Dean will be a new McGovern: "Watch Dean give a speech and he definitely seems like the kind of guy who would have no problem blowing all kinds of shit up in response to a terrorist attack. That should serve him well in the campaign." He also links to this Instapundit post making a similar point.
