YEP.
Thanks for the ping!
Somewhere on FR, recently, was a topic regarding an op-ed which said that Dean would be out by 2006, or the end of 2006. I'd guess that has to do with "having their asses handed to them" in the midterm elections, but it could be that the op-ed writer doesn't see much in the way of competence and a lot in the way of sheer fanatical nuttiness in Dean. :')
IOW, I couldn't be happier.
Social Security going bankrupt? Call Howard Dean and Ted "Trust Fund" Kennedy" -- they'll be happy to point out how there's absolutely nothing to worry about.
It wasnt his first misstep. Earlier in the race, Dean had been blasted by fellow Democrat Al Sharpton for saying he wanted to attract the rebel-flag-waving segment of society to his party, and by other Democrats for dissing the centrist politics of Bill Clinton.
Sharpton revs up against Dean
(Click here or on the pic for entire article)At stake for Sharpton is control, both of his home turf and the African-American wing of the national party. He won't look kindly on any presidential candidate, including Dean, who doesn't recognize his primacy. In fact, he's threatening to sit out the 2004 election. "I'll just go back to Harlem," he says. Let Dean explain that to black voters.
