are not today, nor were they then, the standards of the swing voters that we need to win to win state wide in the swing states.

It was suicidal to deem Howard Dean unfit in that particular primary and it will be suicidal to keep applying the same principles in the next primary and coalesce around the most calm and boring candidate possible.
