Yeah, The News will soon start calling him Howard "Mean" !

[NorCoGOP]

Four years ago, George W. Bush rebounded from a surprisingly large defeat in New Hampshire by co-opting his opponent's message and recasting himself as a "reformer with results." Dean might do the same. If he's got a tax cut in his back pocket, it's time to bring it out. And he needs to do a better job of introducing himself and his record to voters who haven't been paying attention to the campaign for six months or a year.

The early signs of that happening aren't auspicious. Rather than reaching out to the unconverted, Dean fired up his base of supporters at the Val Air. He grinned, ripped off his jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and flung an orange "Perfect Storm" hat into the crowd. Then he started waving an American flag. Walter Shapiro's metaphor of Dean as an "aging rock star reduced to reprising his greatest hits in smaller and smaller clubs" never felt more apt.

OMG!!! These two lines at the end of the article are telling - a hard-core tax-and-spend liberal mulling a "tax cut" for votes? Yeah right!

George Davey, the precinct captain for the Dean campaign, said he was hoping for 25 to 50 Dean voters between the ages of 18 and 25, but only one showed up. "I think if we could blame [Dean's loss] on anyone, blame it on the 18- to 25-year-olds, because they were nonexistent," he said.

LOL! The MTV generation has a very limited attention span. Should have given them some ritalin when they doled out the marching orders!

The Final Four!

[EllaMinnow]

There were lots of new and first-time caucus participants, so many that the organizers ran out of forms to register them. But they weren't the new voters the Dean campaign wanted. George Davey, the precinct captain for the Dean campaign, said he was hoping for 25 to 50 Dean voters between the ages of 18 and 25, but only one showed up. "I think if we could blame [Dean's loss] on anyone, blame it on the 18- to 25-year-olds, because they were nonexistent," he said.

LoL.

[1Old Pro]

He lost because he is a nut and there are only about 18% of the Dems who are the certifiable looney Left who want a nut as their candidate.

CRAZY HOWIE

HIS POLICIES ARE...

INSANE!

Frank 'Miss Toni' Weaver applauds as Dean speaks out in favor of the legal right to gay and lesbian marriage

[HitmanLV]

Well, we know Dean's support is based in young, enthusiastic voters, right?

Well, I think he failed because the caucus was up against the season permiere of 'American Idol,' and we know how dedicated 'young, enthusiastic' voters are!

I say they decided to stay home and watch Idol.

Dean failed because he was never in the TRUE running. Iowa established that Demcrats want Dean's anger but they want to win more.

Democrats know their party is in danger of permanent minority and eventual extinction. Kerry is a faux more to the right, a very small move. It is just trying to be winable.

Now we have real primaries, not the IOWA non-anonymous horsetrading system. This should get interesting.

[TexasCajun]

Dean may not get the democrat nomination, but as long as he rants his Bush hate and Anti-War "We are no better off..." bull, then he will continue to be the Media Darling!

The media love Mean-Mean-The-Dean-Machine, but even every-day democrats think he's a second away from a panic attack!

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

This is very telling:

George Davey, the precinct captain for the Dean campaign, said he was hoping for 25 to 50 Dean voters between the ages of 18 and 25, but only one showed up. "I think if we could blame [Dean's loss] on anyone, blame it on the 18- to 25-year-olds, because they were nonexistent," he said.

[Eva]

The media don't get it, Dean's very vocal support was led by young people, too young to influence the adults who control the caucuses. Dean's supporters' anger and inexperience scares the party regulars, who still LOVE Clinton and the power of the Clintons. Dean became the anti-Clinton when Gore endorsed him.
