The media is taking for granted that Dean will be the nominee (or is the frontrunner) because he got SOME unions endorsing him. Even Novak, in his skewering attack today labors under this assumption

Let's look at some history. The only other candidate running for Presidency as often as Larouche is Dick Gephardt.
     He's been running since for ever (1988, 1992 that I know of) and always got ALL UNION support. So, where is the nominee/president Gephardt?
Did Carter get union support? I know Clinton didn't.
Now the unions are at odds with each other - competing in the race - yet one guy who got 1/3 of the endorsement - and not the other- is crowned as the winner.
  So, to the operatives ensconced here to inject some "healthy pessimism" as well as to the media I say: tell it to president Gephardt.
