I've been thinking about this for a while, and I think each of the major Democratic candidates can be mapped onto a character from King of the Hill.

John Kerry is Hank, the solid, reliable, dependable guy. Howard Dean is Khan, the screaming lunatic neighbor. Joe Lieberman is Bill Dauterive, the lovable loser down the block. John Edwards is Boomhauer, the slick good-lookin' feller with the accent. And Wesley Clark is Dale Gribble, the paranoid conspiracy theorist next door.

Look, it's about as solid as most political analysis you'll find on the Internet.
