Being first is not the same as being the determning factor. You know that. You are smarter than that. The gaffes whittled him down some. But the one thing that did in Dean was the replay of his speech over and over and over. Finishing 3rd in Iowa meant little. He should have won NH but didn't because of the cumulative effect of the gaffes and the speech finished him off. NH dems aren't persuaded by Republcians. Again, for the third and last time, name the names of Republican attackers that were effective in bringing down Dean. If not, you're wasting my time with your petty arguments.

You know what? This is all trivia. And you are so determined to deny Republicans any credit it is clear where you are coming from.

The fact remains that all the things that brought Dean down were pointed out by Republicans repeatedly...BEFORE the media and the Dems caught on to it.

Your denial is astounding. You should volunteer as a Dean campaign worker.

Let's see. Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Karl Rove, Brit Hume, O'Reilly, FOX and Friends who made him a laughing stock in the AM. etc etc.

Have you been living in a hole somewhere or what?
