Hugh Hewitt Mega PING!!
If Dean is the Dems nominee, it's GWB in a 45 State electoral landslide.

The breathless tone of Samantha M. Shapiro's New York Times Magazine cover story on the Dean Campaign, "The Dean Swarm," suggests that Ms. Shapiro hasn't covered many presidential campaigns. Either that, or the arrogance of the Dean Campaign is equal to the arrogance of its candidate.From www.nytimes.com [registration required]:Every presidential campaign of each party draws a huge host of true believers from a variety of walks of life. They join up, often for odd reasons, and form intense attachments because presidential campaigns are intense adventures, especially if the volunteers are young.
For most of them, it will be their first dive into the passions of electoral politics. As in every other campaign before this one, they will believe they have stumbled on a new, strikingly unique group energy... - Hugh Hewitt
The Dean Connection
By SAMANTHA M. SHAPIRO
Published: December 7, 2003
ast February, Clay Johnson, 26, took a trip from Atlanta to the Dominican Republic to visit his girlfriend, Merrill, who was studying linguistics at a university there. He carried an engagement ring in his pocket, but when he arrived, he said, Merrill was cold and distant, and he never gave it to her. Before he left, Merrill told him that she didn't love him anymore.

Jilted Techies for Dean, Vermont chapter:
Zack Rosen and Clay Johnson refocus their devotion.He returned to his apartment in Atlanta, where he worked as a freelance technology consultant. His place was also serving as a storage space for Merrill's possessions, in boxes, and as a temporary home for her two cats. He was allergic to the cats. He stripped to his underwear, lay on the floor in a fetal position and remained there for days, occasionally sipping from an old carton of orange juice. ''I was completely obliterated,'' he says. ''I didn't know something like that could actually cause physical pain.''
Johnson's friends kept calling, trying to think of something that would get him out of the house. Finally they hit on one: Howard Dean...

The Clinton's seem to be aware of this, otherwise why is Hillary! waiting for something to "coalesce?"

Howard Dean Photoshop Contest

Not really news - they're having a funny "Passion of Howard Dean" photoshop contest over at Fark.com - here's a couple of my favorites..
'Excellent...I do see his progressive brand of politics as a force to be reckoned with over the next 40 years...' http://www.kucinich.us/dk.html/
Now that's something to be proud of... Progressive Liberal Politics for this century: shrill, divisive, malevolent, mendacious rhetoric. (Macromedia presents... the same old thing, yet Flashy!)
The candidate who can back it with conviction will get their support, regardless of any further analysis of his/her character as a strong, unifying, leader. Dean certainly qualifies in that category. Kucinich would likely work just fine for them as well. The true believers are going to bet all their money (and Soros') on whatever horse they get for this race, even if it's Caligula's. The Democrats, however, may not. Moderates, likely, will not. And Republicans only see a Donkey with a broken leg and a second head growing out of its a#@.
Another great analysis, Hugh 'The Hammer' Hewitt. The only part where I would slightly disagree is that I do not think that the War has anything to do with any genuine animosity the moon-bats have regarding Bush. They hated him on the second Wednesday in November 2000 just as fervently as they do now. The War is as relevant to them as Enron, ANWAR, or dangling chads in Florida. In reality they care just as little about it and THAT is their true failing. The fringe Left's hedonistic ambition is power and they will get everyone in this nation killed to get it back.
But, we think they are bad now... wait 'til the next second Wednesday in November. Those that aren't stripped to their underwear in a fetal position eyeing a bottle of 'Nidol' may be shopping for corsets, bee-bees, and duct tape.
