Thanks. It took me a while to put it together so the quotes. Howard Dean's loose cannon approach gave me much material but I wanted to group the quotes in a way that most clearly highlighted his cluttered thinking.

[Objective Reality]

Argh! Stop! Let them nominate the dope first, then let Rove trot these out, clip by clip, in a campaign ad! Don't give away the store to Kerry and Gephardt!

[jagrmeister]

Dean will win. The primaries are around the corner: he has the momentum, he has the money, he has the endorsements. There is no anti-Dean with the charisma to rally Democrat faithful against him. This is a window of opportunity now to define Dean to the populace- where we won't be inclined to fight us, since he's so busy fending off challenges from the Left.

Here is what the title should look like:

Dean vs. Dean

[jagrmeister]

I've put together a piece of Howard Dean debating himself (using direct quotes from Dean) and thought you might find it interesting and humorous. Please let me know what you think.

Fair,Pubbie- do you have ping lists? I'm trying to get this out to as many people as possible for comment and suggestion, and would appreciate your help. Thanks.

Great job!

Send it to all the other Dem presidential candidates campaign, seriously.

But keep a copy, the Republicans may need it too, if Dean really will be the Dem nominee.

[Pubbie]

Ok - *Ping*!

[billorites]

So, I'm guessing you're not a Deanie Baby?

[Cobra64]

Great job!

Send it to all the other Dem presidential candidates campaign, seriously.

Better yet, this piece should be sent to Karl Rove. If Rove uses dozens of Dean's flip-flop, hypocritical statements, it will have a terrific impact on the sheeple. IMOHO the synergy would grow at an algorythmic rate (well maybe at a geometric rate).

(Sorry for the reference to Algore in the last sentence.)

LOL! Great post!!

[jagrmeister]

Thanks. I think now is an excellent time to make the charge of "double-talk" stick to Dean. By the time the general election rolls around, Dean will be in no position to attack Bush on the subject of credibility (ie: WMD). Horowitz once said the aim of political communication is not simply to attack your opponent but injure his ability to attack. That is what I hope to accomplish by highlighting Dean's penchance for speaking out both sides of his mouth now. If you know anyone in the GOP (I have a few connections locally, but not many), please do let them know about the elephantparty url (http://www.elephantparty.com).

[jagrmeister]

If you have any means of getting this piece out (http://www.elephantparty.com), please do so. I agree with you that the charge will stick. The best part is that there's no spinning on our part- it's just all Dean's words coming back to haunt him.

"Thank you, very much....

[Lady Jag]

Boing! Boing! Boing!

PLEASE, somebody who is more graphics-skilled than me, figure out how to make these two graphics "dance", ie. 1/2 second exposure each:

And then show me how to do it!

[Otis Mukinfus]

Why is it funny? He's just a typical aristocratic politician who will say what he thinks the peasants want to hear.
