I find it very humorous to hear the media declare dean finished

[Egnever]

Despite him polling second in NH. If dean is finished where does that put clark edwards and lieberman? Past finished?

I guess acording to the media Kerry is our nominee we might as well just forget about voting cause everyone else is finished.

[Cha]

1. Best not to listen to those bush lovin'

pundits! Dean is the best lookin' "dead man" I've ever seen!

[Buffler]

9. I predict

that Dean comes in 4th or barely eecks out 3rd in NH.

[dorktv]

27. Based on what?

Anything can happen in the next five days.

[Buffler]

32. Just a WAG

nothing else.

[blm]

2. You said Kerry was toast long ago. The media told you so.

.

[Cheswick2.0]

5. Kerry still is toast

he has nothing going after NH. I am almost positive he is not staying in the race.

[Joe the Revelator]

7. But he's polling 1st in New Hampshire

if you're going to apply that kind of logic to one canidate you have to apply it to them all.

[dorktv]

28. And who was polling first in Iowa and now is out of the race?

[JohnKleeb]

20. Ches have you ever heard of momentum

If he wins NH which I think he stands a good chance on, he will have momentum going in to other states. I believe only once has someone won the nomination after losing Iowa and NH, that was McGovern I believe. No I am not saying Dean is McGovern, I am merely saying chances are that if Kerry wins NH, he'll be the nom. I dont think Dean is finished, far from it, NH and the february primaries will determine these questions.

[Egnever]

6. I was wrong

But then Kerry wasnt coming in second then. he was in single didgets after being the initial front runner. Get back to me when dean is in single didgets

[Mass_Liberal]

21. Kerry is most definetly not toast

but neither is Dean. I think it's a wide open game still.

[JohnKleeb]

25. person said Kerry was toast

Dean aint toast but I think the Iowa primary was a suprise to us all, and it has affected people. Dean is definely not dead.

[Joe the Revelator]

3. Polling second isn't as impressive

when your numbers drop with every new poll.

[WI_DEM]

4. The media has had it in for Dean for months

I hope it backfires on them. Bites them in the ass. Interesting that the media has done all it can do to defeat Dean in the primaries and then will probably do all it can to elect Bush in November.

[Egnever]

8. I honestly think the turning point was the hardball apearance

When dean said he would dismantle the media conglomerates. They have been after him ever since with a vengance. I think the execs heard that and said WOA we gotta stop this guy.

[HFishbine]

15. Absolutley

Forget the scream, forget the capture of Saddam, you are exactly right. It was after Dean singled out Newscorp as a particular example of a media monoply he would break up that the gloves came off.

[Bombtrack]

10. You're stating something not yet in evidence

The media isn't declaring him finished, they're declaring him having plummeted, but everybody knows that his cash keeps him in the top tier

[isbister]

14. Yeah, who has said Dean's finished?

I haven't seen one say he was, did I miss something. Dean's money alone keeps him in the race.

[HFishbine]

16. Brit Hume & Fred Barnes

to name two.

[killbotfactory]

11. They've declared him dead a half dozen times already...

Dean has 9 lives.

[Bombtrack]

13. Like who?

you can't answer that

[killbotfactory]

22. Lots of people

1. It was because he was a small gov from VT and nobody knows his name.
2. It's because he opposed the war which makes him the next McGovern and unelectable.
3. His support would fade as soon as we finished fighting and WMD sprout forth from the sands like oil.
4. He sucked on Tim Russerts show.
5. The "confederate flag" flap.
6. He didn't acknowledge that catching Saddam made the US 39% safer and more shiny.

[dorktv]

30. 7. He was passionate, loud and enthusiatic after Iowa.

[Forkboy]

12. The media is just doing what they do best

build someone up just to tear them dowm.

Kerry's next.

[Cha]

17. Just too bad they don't see fit

to do that with bushleague. they wouldn't have to make up stuff.

[Democrats unite]

18. Dean is not finished until Dean decides he's finished.

eom

[AntiSmirk]

19. MSNBC declared him "A Joke" this afternoon.

At least that was their midday question of the day : "Is Howard Dean now a joke?". Viewers responses were then read.

[mitchum]

23. But I bet you don't laugh as loud and long as I do

Hey, hubris and humorous both start with the same letter...hmmm

[Southsideirish]

24. Losers squat on big butts while our guys hump to improve USA

and the world.
They make me sick with their snide and cruel "in" jokes, sarcasm and mocking, sophomoric humor. This applies to bloggers, TV sneerer's with their pancake make-up and coiffed hair-do's and the fetid print media hiding their ugly mugs behind their worthless and cruel columns.
Most despicable Fathead Matthews, pinhead Fineman and no heads Imus Novak. EEEEEOOOWWWWWW!
P.S. And *yes*... I'm "telling you how I REALLY feel"...

[dawn]

26. I agree. I actually feel sorry for them.

Anyone who delights in making fun of others has tons of self-esteem issues.

[Exgeneral]

29. Much as the Clark movement has tried for Media attention

I bet Dean wishes they would lay off him for awhile.

Now Kerry is the frontrunner?

We are still waiting.....

[John_H]

31. The assumption is that he won't do well enough in the South

to carry enough momentum into the midwest and west.

But I agree with you--fuck what the media says. Look at the calandar and make up your own mind.

[Demo Gog]

33. Dean is finished.

Watch as his poll numbers continue to sliiiiiiiide. But, I'm sure it's not his fault; it's definitely a media conspiracy! :eyes:
