75. Extremists?
Hardly. Dean made a point about how it is difficult for a working class person to attend the caucuses. He surmised that that would leave the caucuses in the hands of extreme special interests. This was a credible theory. He has since learned that there is far more active citizen participation in Iowa then he first surmised.

I have theories as well. For instance, I can make a logical argument about the true motives of some of the posters on this board. Even if mine was a sound theory, it doesn't mean I believe it. When presented with the fact that certain people may be more reasonable then I first expected, I can accept that my theory may have been wrong. I won't believe my theories unless I have enough concrete evidence to substantiate them.

Now here is another theory I have: Fox News' "gotcha" soundbites are not a credible source of information. Would anyone care to disprove it?
