This is an unmitigated disaster for the D-man. Raising money just got tougher. And, he is going to have to spend more of it if he is going to win the nomination. Then he won't have any left to go after Bush.

And Dean sucked up a lot of money that would normally have gone into other campaigns. Dean is sitting there on that pot of Dim primary money, obviously ready to rip up his opponents. Those campaign dollars can't be replaced by the Dims easily. And many of Dean's supporters will refuse to support another candidate.

I just went to the DeanForAmerica.com website. Those loons actually published the text of that crazy speech like it was a valedictory. Who knows? Maybe they'll raise another few million off that.

This bit, from Dean's blogforamerica.com website, on his NH arrival this morning is even more priceless:

Dean Arrives in New Hampshire!
It was something else to see the stunned look on the staff and press as they entered the hangar to be greeted by a sea of people waving inflatable bats-- and another thing altogether to hear the roar of appreciation when the Governor finally entered and took the stage.

The feeling was euphoric. Off to one side a sign read "Welcome Home, Howard!" And the crowd chanted and stomped, interupting the Governor with shouts and inflatable-bat applause:
"It sure is good to be back in New Hampshire!"

(Roar of approval.)
"We went to Iowa as the frontrunner, it's true. But New Hampshire has a tradition of electing the underdog. And eight days from today, you're going to do just that."

(The blue signs go up and the bats go crazy.)

Pretty soon, Joan Jett will be singing Patsy Cline's 'Crazy' as the campaign theme song. I love that whole inflatable bat thing. These are some very crazy folks. Personally, I wish he'd issue real baseball bats. It would be much more festive.

With a campaign like this, who needs SNL skits?
