The language of "left" and "right" really doesn't work that well when you start talking about foreign affairs.

Even now, he's assumed a position so far to the left of reality in their minds that it's unreal. He's a demigod to the HC Du set. He's a lot like Ashcroft in that respect, in that the public persona that's been built is fairly far off the mark.

You forgot to mention that he's pro-gun, too. But now you're not making a point about Dean -- you're back to characterizing the DU folks. Hank is the only other person here who seems to care about what they're thinking.
