"Only Howard Dean has the money and the organization for a 50 state campaign..,it was the fight with Gephardt that got him off message,Kerry stole his message."Ha ..watch the money start pouring in for Kerry.Contributors love a winner.Clark and Kerry will be an interesting battle.

"When I threw them medal...over the wall."

"Little did I know I was throwin' my political caree...over the wall."

"But then, I never knew that in the 90's we could lie and lie and it wouldn't matter none."

"Cause Bill and Hill taught us well, they did, they did."

"So I'm a proud Vietnam Vet, I am, I am."

And those medals, well I always had 'em. They never went over that wall. That wall."

"Cause I'm a lyin' Dim. And it don't matter none."

[MEG33]

The anti war bunch will love his history.He'll emphasize his heroic service and vet support for the "national security" bit.His past womanizing,fake medal toss,and vote against funding a war he voted to authorize(with our soldiers under fire) won't matter to dems.

I am loving this video on FNC where Dean is ripping off his jacket and rolling up his sleeves like some warped psycho Chippendales wannabe... he's just so creepy

Like Al Gore on LSD.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

OMG .. Dean Is Turning RED IN THE FACE ... WOW!!

If he ever won (extremely unlikely) he could be the first US President to be sworn in while wearing a straight jacket.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

"I'm fine. Really. Just get me to New Hampshire. We'll, er, I'll be fine there. Really. Is there ice cream there? I like ice cream."

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Dean: He's a mean person with real problems......

Perfect candidate for the far left.

[Jason Kauppinen]

I've just dl'ed Drudge's "Howard Dean" clip.

It is real!?!??!?!

If so, Howard Dean has a bright future in the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) I think. :)

[Mike Barnacle just said "Would you want to see a doctor like this in an emergency room?" ]

I wouldn't let this maniac treat my cats!

This guy reminds me of Adolf.

. As I said, he is reading his briefs. Maybe he is used to reading briefs or something.

BINGO!!

As a very good trial lawyer .. Edwards researches and studies up on what he needs to win a case

Which is what he is doing now .. you will also notice that he will play up to the women voters too with all his southern charm .. just watch

Just one problem with Edwards .. he may talk the talk .. but he doesn't walk the walk

His life style and his actions prove that

Oh and about his daddy working in a Mill .. True, but I've also read that his daddy worked in Management .. that's a little different from working on the floor with the regular folks

It began when he took off his jacket and pulled up his sleeves. Don't know if anyone noticed Harkin in the background looking just as frightening as Dean. He was downright giddy as he egged him on.

I've watched the clip three or four times now, and it cracks me up everytime -- particularly Harkin kind of bending forward each time Dean named a state. What comedy!

[LonePalm]

OK, very nice. Accepting both your arguements,

Who is the Green Party Candidate?

Are these yahoos going to turn out for Kerry or Edwards or are they going to stay home?

If the Pacific time zone Dems see a landslide building in the east, will they still go out to vote down the ticket or stay home?

I felt that Gephardt could have been a very strong challenger to Bush

Nah, people will never vote for someone with no eyebrows ::grin::

Seriously, I think people view him as too much of a do-nothing lifer to put him into the White House.

Who is the Green Party Candidate?

There isn't one yet.

Are these yahoos going to turn out for Kerry or Edwards or are they going to stay home?

I would have to have a degree in abnormal psychology to answer that one authoritatively.

[Theodore R.]

Sorry, deport, but I see Rove "drawing blood" mostly against fellow Republicans in primaries or in the harsh treatment rendered against "rebels" like Congressman Tancredo over immigration. He was very meek in the test against Gore and of course came close to losing in the electoral count, lost the popular vote by some 500,000. I just cannot recall how tough Rove was against Gore. Perhaps, you can refresh my memory.

[maica]

I know that it is very late to post on a "LIVE" thread, but your screen grabs of Dean and Kerry on "Nightline" both have the crawl saying "We want our country back" as if the US 'belongs' to the Rs now and it should belong to the Dims. That concept really makes me sick.


Was that a quote from a candidate or a little editorializing help from the Nightline staff!!!

[ilgipper]

Has anyone seen a breakdown of voting Male vs. Female in Iowa? I think that would be interesting.

[maica]

I don't know if we can turn it all around, but, if we let the dems in, its over for sure. I wish the "one issue conservatives" would grasp this. You don't win by losing. Especially when it comes to giving power over to the dems.

We must never forget how the Dems have acted in this Congress. They will definitely trash the Constitution and crush all dissent, ie. conservative opinion, if they get the majority again in the forseeable future.
