the interesting thing about this election is that there is nobody from the west...in tradition there is always someone from the west cost and so we will see how that turns out.
Also this election in my mind will be more about NOT being BUSH then BEING Kerry

There are many who would argue that Dick Cheney isn't really from the West Coast (since just prior to his announcement as the vice presidential candidate for the 2000 elections, he moved from Texas to Wyoming as his "permanent" residence) - IIRC...
Dean would have been nice, but I fear that if he was chosen the democratic party would have lost the rest of the country, for fear that having both in the northeast and both being considered fairly liberal. Not that I don't like Dean (I wanted him to win the primaries), but I think it would have been the kiss of death to the campaign effort.
