Being a leader does not mean being a petty headmaster who punishes those who breaks the rules.
Being a leader means solving problems. It means making EVERYONE feel like they have a stake in the process. It means applying principle in a prioritized, ethical and strategic manner with an even hand - and clearly the principle of enfranchising voters and keeping all 50 states in the process is a higher priority than kissing up to Iowa and New Hampshire.

Dean is a failure.
