Funny you should mention that since, as a "green dog Democrat" (part yellow dog, part blue dog), I think Howard Dean is an embarassment to the Democratic Party and is one of the DNC's worst mistakes in recent memory. (And there have been quite a few to choose from.)
Coulter is a cheerleader. She can energize and entertain the faithful who already agree with her by saying what they want to say. But I still say that she is far more likely to turn others away from her style of conservatism than to convince others that she is right.
It may be great to hear someone speak without regard to people's feelings, but one better keep in mind that, in political discourse, that speech well may alienate the people one wants to convince.
