Here are some things I have seen written
"He could be narrow, clannish, short-tempered, stubborn to a fault"
"He was not without flaw. He could be intemperate, profane, touchy, too quick with simplistic answers."
"He denounced...Congress as a "do-nothing" body dominated by men with "a dangerous lust for power and privilege."
The result of a Newsweek poll of fifty top political commentators nationwide who were asked to predict the outcome was 50 against him, zero for him.
No these were not said about Howard Dean. These were said about Harry Truman.
A gruff, short tempered man that turned out to be a great President.
By the way here is the full text about the newsweek article "A few words about the '48 campaign, which will always be part of our political lore. It's a great American metaphor, a great American story. The fellow who hasn't got a chance comes from behind and wins. Nobody in either party, not a professional politician, not a reporter, not even his own mother-in-law doubted that Tom Dewey would be the next president. The result of a Newsweek poll of fifty top political commentators nationwide who were asked to predict the outcome was Dewey 50, Truman 0."
It's not over till it's over!!!!!
