FYI it's being carried live on Cspan. They said coverage starts at 7 pm ET, with the actual caucus at 7:30 pm ET.

[CurlyBill]

Sorry...I wasn't clear. I agree that Gephart WON't run again. I was responding to someone who implied he'd resign now.

I agree with you on that... He's speaking now and he sounds like a man ready to leave politics.

[hellinahandcart]

Dean said he was proud of those who endoresed him, and he included Jimmy Carter in his list

But Carter didn't endorse him, did he?

Is Dean on drugs? I am totally serious here.

[Timeout]

...the Senator from France has yet to give his Victory speech.

How long before Teresa loses that high-fallutin' French accent?

[CFC__VRWC]

Who's that scarey man on TV mommy?

Now there's a NH commercial for Kerry or Edwards.

[mylife]

Oh god thats wonderful

[Jorge]

..course some are familiar with the Dean speeches... they remember them from their youth in Berlin, before daddy was sent to the camp......

Aghhh! Now I know what his screaming hostile speeches remind me of.

I am so glad to see what I pray is the beginning of the end for the symbol of the Bush-Hating crowd.

[looney tune]

Oh no, not the milk truck story again. What a miserable failure!

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Aw, Come On! George is cute.

(I mean in a straight hetero male sort of way!)

[oceanview]

that's good. I converted one Democratic friend this year, it may not matter since its NY, but if everyone could convert one Dem they knew....

[anonymous_user]

Our Dean win predictions sucked.

So which pollster most closely called this one, Gallup, Zogby?

[Miss Marple]

Gephardt giving a speech heavy in nostalgia. Thanking every member of every labor union who has stood by his side.

Your fight has been my fight, and it will always be that way. (Looking for a VP nod I think.)

Thanking the people of the 3rd Congressional District of Missouri.

Thanking all the people of Missouri.

Thanking his staff. Finest people he has ever met.

I have said many more times than the media has wanted to hear that my mom was a scretary and my dad was a milk truck driver. My mom taught me to treat others as I would like to be treated. (I guess this means that President Bush can call HIM a miserable failure.)

[BCrago66]

That's the cruelty of politics. Gephardt is giving his final good-bye and the Iowa station I'm watching on C-Span cuts away to a commercial.

[Mo1]

Gephard is in my opinion basically a good guy. He stood by President Bush for the war in Iraq - when it was not to his political advantage to do so.

Yes .. but then he turned around and called him a miserable failure

"Gephard is in my opinion basically a good guy. He stood by President Bush for the war in Iraq - when it was not to his political advantage to do so."

YOU SOFTY! :-)

[Johnny_Cipher]

I understood every single word of it

Yes, I clearly heard him say "My campaign is toast and I need to have my head examined."

[Plutarch]

Gephardt's father was a milk truck driver. I did not know that.

[RightField]

As in the words of old Dandy Don ...

Dickie, Turn out the lights ... The party's over . . .

[Will_Zurmacht]

I wasn't kidding about my dog being scared either...

As soon as Dean began his rant, Mr. Grumps took off for his heavily fortified bunker under the bed...

It says a lot when your campaign speech scares bulldogs.

Hard to imagine Dean is having trouble "connecting" to mainstream voters.....hehe

[arasina]

I'll help you snap out of it. Here.

El Poco Loco is downright presidential compared to Deano. While I am adamantly opposed to him politically, at least he takes defeat like a gentleman.
