Dean and his amazing cyber Teflon coat

I first thought that Dean was going to flatten all the democratic nominees but now I am not so sure. I now think that it's going to be a tight squeeze for Dean because of Clark. Apparently Clark is pushing his way in at break-neck speed. Weasely Clark may even win the nomination at this rate.

"Weasely Clark may even win the nomination at this rate."

I agree. Despite his impressive lead, Dean is far from home free.

As Iowa Hawk put it, though, the Sleaze Wing of the Democrat party is on the march against Dean's Insanity Caucus. Dean is no longer the media darling. And, at the Clintons' behest, no doubt, they are "on his case".

While Dean's base is clearly a plurality of the Democrat party, his opposition will eventually coalesce around a single candidate -- most likely Hillary's sock puppet, The Weasley One.

Terry McAwful's job will thus be saved. But it will be fun to watch the Deaniacs set fire to the Fleet Center as Weasley is giving his acceptance speech...

Dean will not get the nomination. If Morris says he will, that's the kiss of death.

Weasely Clark may even win the nomination at this rate.

You could be right, he's surging right now. I know dyed in the wool Democrats that wont vote for Dean in any circumstance. His days of flying under the radar could be over.

75-80% of dem voters prefer anyone but Dean...

Very good analysis Okie.
I like your football coach too.

Hey when too much sh't is thrown on the wall from both Democrats and Republicans, nothing sticks. Dean loyalists feel any enemy of all these politicians must be my friend. When both Bush and Clinton supporters want you gone, you must be doing something right.

Conservative Republicans should have shut up until after any nomination. Right now they have neutralized the sh't.

But the Deanie babies have a slogan "Dean or Green", will they stay w/ the D's if Dean loses?

[yoe]

The usual suspects are 'for Dean' because "he's cute looking"....and that is what these nano second-bites, uneducated people think a president should be - cute! The American tragedy...dumbed down comic book educated voters.

You mean Les Miles? I didn't go to Zero U.

Dean is Bill Clinton. What a scary thought... having another episode of Clinton in the White House. Ugh!

Morris didn't say Dean will get the nomination. He said, "My bet is it will (Dean's base can expand enough to prevail in a three-way fight between Dean, Lieberman, and Clark) and that Dean will go on to win the nomination."

That makes sense to me also. Lieberman and Clark are just too weak to beat Dean. If I had to bet that's the way I'd go. That's not the same thing as saying he *will* win.

Also, Morris brings up (for the first time I've seen) the point that Dean's supporters are gonna overwhelm the others at the Iowa caucuses.

Based on what we've seen Dean's supporters so far, that makes sense to me also. (all the Iowan Bush-haters can't wait to get to the caucuses and stand up for their hero). Even though if everyone voted, Gephardt would win easily, Gephardt (sp?) supporters are much more inclined to stay home and watch TV on caucus night.

I think this phenomenon is prevalent among democrat voters. How many democrat women were envious of Monica? A lot of democrat "men" too for that matter.

CUTE?????? HE HAS NO NECK!!!!!

I also heard that some Repubs are sooo disguntled with Bush that they probably will vote Clark. Imagine voting for a General who made his career in the army and is saying he is against the war! He should have made his career in the SALVATION ARMY instead! People are real stupid to vote for this guy!

[ken5050]

It would depend on whether or not Dean endorses the candidate and campaigns actively for the ticket...but it's also curious that Nader is holding off on running as a Green...

[Atlas Sneezed]

Basically, Dean is the email SPAM candidate.

[futureceo31]

This is nothing compared to what was thrown at Bush in the 2000 primaries... Remember the whole "gravitas" and the "dumb" thing. What amazes me is this guy is just splitting up the dim party but the press is calling him a uniter...:)

[don'tbedenied]

I still like the Sooner coach, Y-towner you know.
