Thanks for the ping. And thanks to the Iowans who rejected this head case...and anyone still on the fence about that just needed to watch his "concession" speech.

(For me, Dean will always be the "Candidate Most Ready to do the Dishes" with those sleeves rolled up).

Dean obviously felt it was important to rally the troops, put on a brave face, etc. But such enthusiasm and upbeat energy in the face of a stinging defeat is simply not an honest human reaction, and inevitably makes people question his authenticity and even his marbles.

Last night's defeat might have been an opportunity for Dean to turn things around. To say, humbly and with good grace, that the results were disappointing, and that perhaps he had gone a bit too far with his rants.

Instead, he confirmed the absolute worst that people thought about him, and effectively destroyed whatever was left of his candidacy.
