Howard Dean is hardly very liberal but most Democrats are not well informed enough to know that. As Governor of Vermont he was considered conservative. He was cheap. He was against welfare. One time he publicly chastised a welfare mom and asked her if she was too good to work. A number of Vermont politicians even considered him a closet Republican. The New Yorker magazine even compared him to George Bush. They're both New Englanders who came from old money and attended Yale. George Bush's grandmother was even a bridesmaid at Howard Dean's grandmother's wedding. Dean's father, grandfather and great grandfather were Wall Street bankers. His economic policy sure isn't liberal.
