If not of the year. I too was a Dean supporter, for many reasons. I volunteered for him, even went to Iowa to campaign for him. I too was angry at how unfair the media was to him. I was in that room in Iowa for the famous scream, and believe me, the media got it completely wrong.
Dean would have made a good president. Hillary Clinton would have made a better one. I don't agree with either of them on every single thing, just as I don't agree with my friends all the time. But either Dean or Clinton would have been VASTLY better than what's occupying the White House now.
