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.

Here's the question though...
Is it true that Bush and his people wanted Dean to get the nomination?
Is Kerry a more formidible opponent, or not?
(And yes, if Dean just commited political suicide, I will miss him! He was entertaining.)

The gaffs of leno, letterman, Conan, and even Kilborn did'nt do Dean any good either...
