RES IPSA LOQUITUR: Regardless of what you think of Howard Dean (and I've spoken well of him on occasion), it's simply not, uh, reality-based to keep angrily insisting that he represents the rank and file of the Democratic party. He doesn't. And how do we know that? Because the rank and file overwhelmingly rejected the good doctor in one primary after another just last year. Q.E.D., right? Right???. . . [Via Glenn Reynolds.]
