I know that a lot of Jewish voters were ambivalent on Governor Dean in the 2004 primaries, because he seemed tepid in his support of Israel. His base of supporters, drawing from the left edge of the party, made this threat even more pronounced. So I was very pleased to see his prompt condemnation of anti-Semitic bigotry at one of his events.
Balloon Juice gives the heads up. And this is also a sign, however timid, that Dean also will be able to resist the inevitable calls for an immediate Iraq withdrawal. Though I'm not willing to bank on that yet.
