Count the reasons
Warren Gammel writes Why I Like and Support Howard Dean.
One of the most common criticisms I hear directed at Howard Dean is that he waffles on the issues, as if the GOP or anyone else *never* does this! This indicates to me that Howard Dean is someone of conscience who is not so ingrained in a rigid belief system he can’t admit he just might have been wrong about something in the past. Two of the most prominent groups who *never* admit mistakes or allow themselves a change of mind or heart are far right wing wackos and far left wing wackos, the fringe extremist elements. Howard Dean has a conscience, admits his mistakes and like the rest of us, he is human. Only those with extremely narrow perspectives do not allow themselves to ever change their minds. We should celebrate, not condemn, Dean’s diverse opinions and perspectives.

reminds me of this:
John Maynard Keynes was famously quoted as saying: ‘When the facts change,
sir, I change my mind. What do you do?’
