Adventures in perspective

The world view of ABC News (The Note):
Bob Novak might be too pessimistic about Howard Dean's chances to succeed as party chair, while Jim Jordan might be too optimistic. We see the merits on both sides. As Dean moves to make changes at the DNC, it is clear he should recognize that the existing structure was clearly not working, but he would be wise to move in a cautious, gradual way.
Or, as we conservative Republican partisans might say, Bob Novak is too optimistic about Dean's chances to succeed, and Jim Jordan too pessimistic. We might want Howard Dean to be a failure, no? ...unless you're ABC News in which case we know which perspective they're coming from.

I know it sounds picky, but it's just an illuminating snapshot of their thinking. I just wish they were as open in their bias as Bob Novak.
