By the way, the former Democratic candidate who was not elected endorsing another Democratic candidate who represents similar views is hardly 'America Lurching to the Left'. In fact, it was an absolute guarentee that Gore would endorse somebody, and Leiberman is probably more to the left than Dean.

So in fact America did not lurch, or move, or even twitch at all really. If Dean is elected, which would be really nice by the way, THEN one could make a comment about the political climate of the US. But: "US Slightly-left-of-centre party stays slightly left of centre!!! No Change to Report at all!!!" is not really news.
