Anyone who got on Deans bandwagon was an idiot. Fortunately the US realized what a lunatic that guys was before it was too late.

Another benefit isn't seeing the Dean lusers "Vote for Dean 2004" sigs in Slashdot anymore. They have all crawled back under a rock, too embarrased to come out until the next quack comes along in 4 years.
