When Howard Dean stutters..

[Roxy66]

it does not help get out our message. I wish he wouldnt come across so flustered. He needs to slow down a little.

[liberalnurse]

1. Thank you for sharing........

:eyes:

[eleny]

2. He wasn't flustered at all

I think it was a terrific interview.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. I didn't think he seemed flustered at all. He speaks very fast,

and maybe he should slow down a bit, but there was nothing about his delivery that seemed flustered in the least.

[EFerrari]

4. I'd rather watch Howard Dean Stutter than the top 10 Senatorial Dems

do or say anything. Because I believe him.

[pointblank]

5. What?

He sounded very well spoken and articulate to me...unlike someone else whom I wont name *

[MoseyWalker]

6. I thought he did an excellent job

I don't care how he is presented, I care what he says and believes.

I wish this country didn't judge everyone on "presentation".

Not saying you are, just saying my thoughts.

[Wickerman]

7. A stuttering Dean can say more in 10 minutes

than Bush** has stumbled thru in 6 gawd-awful years.

I'm no Deaniac but at least what he says has the ring of truth.

[RadiDem]

33. Yup!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

8. Not Sure Any Reasonable Person Who Watched Would Agree.

He was spot on in his analysis and message, and he did a great job.

[patricia92243]

18. He was SO good - that I almost feel sorry for him - because the Republican

will be all over his case. I know he has a tough enough hide to take it, but I don't. It irks me to death when they act like a gaggle of ravening wolves to our good doctor. Ugggg!!

[madfloridian]

9. Ok, just like he said witthout stuttering...that's "silly."

Come on, don't do that.

[Avalux]

10. I caught him on KO and thought he was wonderful.

He didn't sound flustered at all; very clear and concise message.

[RadiDem]

21. I LOVE HD but he could have used better adjs than 'silly' and

'riduculous' to describe Bushco. How about 'criminally incompetent' 'traitorous' ? or SOMETHING a little harder hitting ?

IMHO He's NOT the best off-the-cuff speaker as far as florid vocabulary, but his honesty always shines through

Dean 04 Voter

[MoseyWalker]

24. at least

he doesn't make up his own words!

:hi:

[RadiDem]

28. I bet he even knows how to pronounce eclectic!

[Roxy66]

32. LOL...that was hilarious!!

I wonder how Brian kept from cracking up?

[tnlefty]

60. And I'll bet that he knows the requirements for having his medical

license, as opposed to FrankenFRIST, the :puke: majority leader.

[Imalittleteapot]

11. Flustered???

Hardly. Dean was articulate and convincing. I never heard him stutter.

[RadiDem]

12. You dislike him cause he's not a glib smooth talking lying politician?

Proud to have been a Dean 04 supporter

[SammyWinstonJack]

13. !

:eyes: He sounds good too me. I wish he would "scream" more. :evilgrin:

[Horse with no Name]

14. Odd...

I thought he was genuine and sincere.
Are you sure that you didn't confuse him with Bush?

[Skidmore]

15. The good doctor should have been President.

[Bluebear]

17. Word.

[Skidmore]

22. Hey, I faithfully caucused for him.

He had my vote.

[Sal Minella]

47. So did I. Still have my "Dean" buttons on my hat.....

[OzarkDem]

23. Agree

The only candidate I could trust to not wage unnecessary war and to get a real universal health care plan for the country.

I hope he runs again.

[RadiDem]

31. Absolutely! I still wear my Dean 04 shirts proudly

and 90% of the people who comment on them agree.

[SammyWinstonJack]

54. Well him or Kerry......, except for the fact that it should have been

Gore's re-election and his second term. But oh well......

[fishwax]

58. i agree

ah, what could have been ...

[Roxy66]

16. Oh, I forgot, there can be no criticism of Dean on DU....

look, I am not trashing him...I just wish he would sound more steady and confident.

[Bluebear]

19. 'Oh, I forgot, there can be criticism of Dean on DU....'

?

[MoseyWalker]

20. and I don't know what you watched

because it was not what I watched.

I saw someone who was very capable of delivering a message, and did an excellent job of it.

I suppose we'll agree to disagree, but I can't fathom how someone could think that wasn't a good interview.

[RadiDem]

25. You weren't around here in 04, were you?

We Deaniacs and our candidate weren't widely loved

( I was part of the 'Dean purge of 04' ;-)

Enough people got the boot that a new forum was started!

[Roxy66]

29. Actually ,I've been around since long before 04'

I dont love him or hate him..just looking through analytical eyes

[eleny]

34. Frankly, I don't think DU is in the mood for that tonight

Just looking at your OP with analytical eyes. I'm sure you understand.

[LostinVA]

38. giggle

[Roxy66]

40. O.K...... sounds good to me. I'll go now

[eleny]

41. ...

:boring:

[Justitia]

39. LOL, no kidding! -eom

[PresidentWar]

56. LOL!! EXACTLY what I was thinking!

[Swamp Rat]

26. How about criticism with substance?

I am open to that. :)

[LostinVA]

36. This isn't criticism of Dean

It's trashing him for a reason that doesn't exist.

Plus, even though he did NOT stutter, your comment is less than nice to people who do stutter. Not nice.

And, I see PLENTY of criticism of the Doctor on DU. Maybe you've been reading the Bizarro DU or something.

[Justitia]

37. Do you seriously think Howard Dean lacks confidence??? Huh??

Now, that is one criticism of the man I have never heard.

Dean's brain moves very fast and I think sometimes his mouth has to work to catch up, so he trips a bit (I have the same problem), but he has definitely improved over time, slowing down a bit. I think he also knows he has very limited time to get his points across and tries to maximize that.

However, he ALWAYS comes across as very strong and confident in his points, very convincing and persuasive, very solid.

I would never think of him or his delivery as anything less than completely confident.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

57. LOL.

Person 1: "I think Dean's horrible, verbal abortion called "stuttering" is helping the terroists!"

Person 2: "I hardly noticed the stuttering. I wasn't a problem at all."

Person 1: "Help! Help! I'm being oppressed!."

[Armstead]

27. Picky, picky, picky

I'd rather have someone like Dan who has the nads to call the GOP "nuts" than some smooth talking "strategist" who says nothing.

[Roxy66]

Who's Dan? n/t

[Armstead]

48. My version of stuttering

My brain meant Dean -- but my fingers typed otherwise.

[Cha]

35. You mean Dean?

:)

[AlCzervik]

30. He's a real person, i'm glad.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

42. ...an Angel gets it's wings.

Horseshit.

[Cha]

43. The good news is

Dean has a great fan club.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

44. What was the bad news again?

:shrug:

[Cha]

45. bush is

going around hoggin' the airwaves.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

46. "Hoggin'."

Very apropos.

[Bluebear]

53. Indeed.

[Bluebear]

50. Guess you must have seen a different Howard Dean tonight.

The one I saw was terrific.

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

51. He Confused 9/11 With Iraq

He misspoke when he said "* wanted to go after Sadamm right after he took office, and that was 9 months before Iraq."

I heard him say it, and realized it was a mistake, but he made it nonetheless. True, sometimes he needs to just slow down a bit, he's got the right idea.

Rather hear him than any wingnut. Even misspeaking.

[janx]

59. How did he misspeak saying that?

It's true.

[Cha]

61. It's true...it's been reported

a lot. Dean didn't misspeak on that. bush did want to go after sadam right after he took office..makes LIHOP or MIHOP more plausible.

[ScreamingMeemie]

52. Howard Dean "stutters" for me!

Time to lay down primary war feelings, ya think?

[PresidentWar]

55. Howard Dean has been right. About everything.

Stuttering certainly won't mar his reputation with me, one iota. Lets concentrate on the big picture.
