Steven Taylor had a good article in the Sunday edition of The Birmingham News laying out the odds for the Democratic candidate most likely to face Bush in November. Steve says the nomination is Dean's to lose, and given his analysis I'd say he's probably right. He's even more right when he says:

Much like a lot of the Angry Right was buzzing about how the cleverly vituperative adult Bob Dole would make mincemeat of the silly frat boy Philanderer-in-Chief.

Sometimes, anger just comes across all wrong.
