I am "deeply saddened" today. I really hoped Dean could pin down the nomination before the Dims figured out who he is. I guess the silver lining is that to the Dims the picture of an "electable" candidate is a Massachusetts liberal.

[Quix]

i have very mixed feelings about that!

Would prefer to have him against Bush. I think he's easiest to beat.

[George W. Bush]

Dean has $20 million and enough hatred to cover many states.

And the press is bored with chewing him up and will barbecue one of these other oafs next. I think it'll be Kerry or maybe Clark. They'll leave Edwards alone for now.

> We are winning, aside from our conservative friends here, who hate Bush, and have forgotten the lessons of Perot. <

Hate Bush? No. I just don't see him as much different, in terms of policy, from the previous admin. Better than any Dem, sure, but only marginally so.

Pubs and Dems have their disagreements on the margins, but when you get down to it, there's not much difference between the two parties.

Awww, man! I wanted to see Nikita Dean get the Dem nomination, the only reason being that I want to see the Nationally Socialistic Democrats get their a$$es KICKED this coming November.

The man is insane, but it would make for a campaign that late night talk show hosts would be joking about for YEARS!

This is who/what Howard Dean reminds me of!

Well, he went down to dinner in his Sunday best
Excitable boy, they all said
And he rubbed the pot roast all over his chest
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy

Nah. Dean makes Macho Man sound rational!

[samtheman]

Don't be deeply saddened. It was too much to hope for. Kind of like pinning our hopes on the nomination of Kucinich or Sharpton. Ain't gonna happen. And neither was Dean. It was only a matter of (short) time before he strapped on a suicide built and pushed the button.

Anyway, he's got all that money. He can still do a lot of damage along the way. Might even go third party. He's selfish enough. He's ignorant enough. His hard-core followers are stupid enough.

And as for the others. Kerry. Clark. Edwards. Don't worry. Bush will beat any of them.

[TigersEye]

To say that his wife is an unnecessary prop demeans the Office of the Presidency of Our Great Country.

Doesn't it also demean his wife and his marriage? After all a man doesn't become President without bringing his family front and center into the public square of national politics whether they are willing or not. Does she have nothing to offer other than being a stage prop? Is their marriage just a legal formality? Does he plan to go to DC and be President of the United States while she stays in VT treating dairy farmer's sinus infections?

[eddie willers]

Might even go third party.

Be still my beating heart.

[colorado tanker]

And as for the others. Kerry. Clark. Edwards. Don't worry. Bush will beat any of them.

I agree. Dean was going to be fun because I could see Bush racking up maybe 49 states against him. Kerry or Edwards would hold more of the Dim base together to take some blue states. Given Clark's weirdness factor and tendency to deny his past, Bush could win that one in a landslide too.

[samtheman]

And it's always possible that no matter who the RATS run we can take 49 states. Depends on how we work together.

[colorado tanker]

Depends on how we work together.

True. And from what I've seen on FR lately, I'm not optimistic about that.
