Dean / Feingold vs. Frist / Santorum in 2008

Well?

It's the libertarian Democrats vs. the religious right.

Howard Dean of today is NOT a libertarian. He may have had some libertarian leanings as governor but that is still going a little far I think.

Nice try though.

Give me a break, of course he was libertarian leaning.
He's moderately liberal on social issues (he decided against gay marriage) and he has an A rating from the NRA.

Give me a break, theres more to being a libertarian than social issues.

Was his plan for socialized health care libertarian?

As for economic issues.

I believe he had the cheapest health care plan of the Democrats, his was definitely not socialized, even Gephardt who had the most expensive one, I think, still didn't have anything close to the single payer method used in Canada.

As for fiscal matters, he turned deficits into surpluses in Vermont, and no, balanced budgets are not required there.

He also cut taxes and is against borrowing money.

Yes, Dean was a moderate, libertarian on some issues as Governor BUT I doubt he will be back in 2008 therefore your statement that Dean is a "libertarian Democrat" is bunk.

Think of him as a charismatic Pataki.
