My greatest fear

Garance Franke-Ruta recapitulates my greatest fear:

My fear for the Democratic Party is not that Dean will divide the party, but that the leaders of the DLC -- many of whose policy ideas folks around these halls are intrigued by or agree with, by the way -- and certain other nodes for un-elected party leaders already have so much invested in their anti-Dean agenda that they won't be able to come around if he wins the nomination.
