Looking at the list of people upset with Dean what I see is a list of the party campaign managers and planners who lost out in this Democratic victory. The ones behind the narrow triangulation and big business donation strategy that had lost the Democratic party almost every election since Reagan.

The tide was so strong against the Republicans this year that it probably didn't matter much what strategy the Democrats used. But I think Dean's 50 state strategy probably made the victory bigger then it would have been otherwise. By getting as many areas in play as possible, Dean insured that the general flow against Republicans would hit as many incumbents as possible.
