isn't it ironic? gore/dean
the dean campaign started down hill about the time gore endorsed him.

now a gore man is taking over the dean campaign.

am i the only one to find it ironic? the more gore is involved, the less DEAN dean will become.

1. Dean stopped being Dean
Right after the scream. It was like a self-neutering.

2. i think i disagree and i think i posted about it here
it could have been on another board but i questioned why the insurgent candidate felt comfortable taking endorsements from the old time establishment. i think he'd have done better to skip the endorsements and the fanfare it generated. it would have kept him out of the target zone and might have done him more good in the long run.

6. It began at the time that Kergepwardsman concentrated their
attacks on Dean. I have no problem with that, that's politics. But it will be interesting to see if the motivation was other than taking down the front-runner. We'll get our first glimpse at tonights debate. Will everyone attack Kerry? My bet is that they don't.

7. Yep, Dean was stabbed in the back by the Congresscritters
Wonder if Edwards, Kucinich and Lieberman are going to let Kerry play Bob Dole?

8. Does anyone find shades of the Wellstone Memorial in this?
The media made the Wellstone Memorial into a circus on television. It perverted the intention of the ceremony to fit their conservative bias. I see this same thing happening with the "Dean Scream". What was a speech for his supporters and troops to fire them up, came across like a raving lunatic. It was all media twisting. The big question is can it be stopped?
