If the MSM played this election straight down the middle and actually reported on the candidates, McCain would carry forty states.
The biggest single advantage the Dems have is that the media cheers for them.
The MSM is STILL claiming Kerry was “swiftboated” without ever having looked into the charges or interviewed any of the men he served with.
That’s the state of the media today.
Not being able to vote for Obama or Clinton because they are so much worse is the only thing John M has going for him IMO.
Howard Brush Dean III, child of privilege, Birkenstock doc, and beneficiary of some $3.8 million in trust funds, equities and financial instruments, is the epitome of the “limousine liberal”. Except that he eschews the limosines, and lives in the apparent “genteel poverty” of a country doctor persona. This, then, makes him a “man of the people”, and as such, gives him a patina of being a populist.
Young Ho-Ho Dean was on schedule to become a stockbroker himself, but apparently he had some daddy issues, and left the business to pursue medical training and ski trips. Unable to get a residency in New York City, he accepted one in Vermont, and established his credentials there. Once he had his practice established (with Dr. Judith Steinberg), he found his afternoons to be at loose ends. He dabbled in politics, taking on the job of lieutenant governor for a couple years, until the governor at the time had the bad judgment to die in office, and Dr. Dean assumed the duties. He was elected in his own right in the next election, and the honorable post of governor became a long-held suzerainty, at least until the job got boring. Dean jumped all over the political spectrum while in elective office, at times seeming to be a law-and-order martinet, and other times taking the most outrageously radical of proposals and making it his own.
The man has a whim of iron. And the logical consistency of trying to nail Jell-O to the wall.
The media just spent 8 years telling everyone what a great guy John McCain was. Now they are going to flip and say he’s a monster? I know sheeple are foolish, especially Democrat sheeple but I think the media is going to have a hard time selling this flip. In the end they’ll have to resort to turning McCain into an angry Grandpa Simpson with his finger “on the button”. As he always does, I’m sure John McCain will help the media realize their dreams. ;-)
Howard Dean is and has always been the gift that keeps on giving.
If I didn’t know better, I’d swear he was a Rove plant at the DNC. Then, again, maybe I DON’T know better ;)
“This is a race about the change in our country.” You bet it is......a change away from the Clintons.
“John McCain Not a Strong Candidate” and he will kick barack mcgovern’s ash, so your point is?
Hey, when he's right, he's right. There are no strong candidates this year.
What possible direction is that, Dr. Demento? 81% of the American people is an awfully large percentage to agree on anything at all.
Seems as if Dean made up that number out of thin air. But that won't faze him since his target audience is too dumb to pick up on that.
