Dean takes deep-water dive - and forgets to sufficiently decompress on the way back up!

Dean will win New Hampshire, which will guarantee a Demo bloodbath and calls for Hillary to intervene, which, IMO, she will if GWB continues to suffer the backlash of triangulation and widens the gap between himself and conservatives. The interesting thing is that triangulation may not work as it did for Clinton because, again IMO, conservatives will choose their principles over their candidate.

. Disc jockeys like Howard Stern are already - unfairly, it should be said - playing Dean's diatribe against the soundtrack of Nuremberg rallies.

LOL....They'll be revisiting this discussion, after he wins New Hampshire......JFKs bounce will bring it close, but MadHow is fairly well known there, and NH hates a Front runner.

And Edwierd will drop off the Radar in NH, finishing 4th, or worse.....Then South Carolina, where Edweird, and Sharpton finish 1,2....

Hmmm...

I'm thinking Dean jumped the shark when he told a 66-year old retiree to "Sit down! You've had your say."

The screaming "victory" conniption the other night just confirmed it.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAGGGHHHHHH!"

This could also turn into the Dean rally cry.

This article is helpful because I've been hearing the term 'jumping the shark' and didn't know what it meant.

Dean was just trying (again) to appeal to folks with Confederate flags on their pickup trucks. This was his lame attempt at a Rebel Yell.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAGGGHHHHHH!" Very presidential. For a Democrat.

Has Gravitas too.

This was his lame attempt at a Rebel Yell.

If Ethan Allen and the 'Green Mountain' boys started the charge on Fort Ticonderoda with that yell they would have walked in while the Brits were doubled over with laughter.

But then again Dean is from NYC.

Disc jockeys like Howard Stern are already - unfairly, it should be said - playing Dean's diatribe against the soundtrack of Nuremberg rallies.

Forget about Howard Stern. There were parts of Don Imus' Tuesday morning show that ought to be enshrined in the Radio Hall of Fame.

About the third time they played Dean's clip, they cut straight from Dean's "primordial scream" to the opening strains of Ozzy Osborne's "Crazy Train" -- which then cuts straight into a promo "jingle" for the Imus in the morning show. It went something like this . . .

[Dean]: "You know something? If you had told us one year ago that we were going to come in third in Iowa, we would have given anything for that. . . . Not only are we going to New Hampshire, we're going to South Carolina and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico, and we're going to California and Texas and New York. And we're going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan. . . . And then we're going to Washington, D.C., to take back the White House! . . . YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAGGGHHHHHH!" [Ozzy]: "ALL ABOAAAARRRRRRD - HA HA HA HA HA HA! . . . I- I- I- " [IMUS SHOW JINGLE]: "IMUS IN THE MORNING!!"

I hope Dean wins in NH.

He's nuts, but so is Clark. He's a liar, but so is Kerry. He's goofy, but so is Edwards. He can pander, but so can Joe. He's a demagogue, but so is Al. He's kooky, but so is Kookinich.

In other words, he's a perfect match for the Democrat electorate!
