David Ellis at Wunderkinder has a great post tiled "Why Howard Dean Scares Me"
Reasonable men have tried to deny it for too long, but now we must acknowledge the irrefutable conclusion that Howard Dean is now the frontrunner among the Democratic candidates for president. For me his oft-repeated statement that the reason he believes in the things that he does is because he tends to focus on the facts is a terrifying thing for a potential president to believe. It reminds me of Noam Chomsky, who thinks that his opinions are on a higher plane than those he disagrees with because he is basing his views on fact and reason, which are objective. Therefore men of good faith cannot disagree with Dean and Chomsky, because fact and reason cannot lead to divergent viewpoints.
