Now this is just what we need: the Twin Cities alt-weekly paper City Pages argues that Howard Dean should be left alone to make wild liberal comments:

“Democrats are afraid that Dean’s incendiary leftist ravings will drive whatever sensible Americans they still retain into the arms of Republicans. Shades of McGovern and all that. The premise won’t withstand much scrutiny, but since both parties and the press are on the same page about Dean, it doesn’t have to.”
