#1 Doesn't it make you dems a teensy bit concerned that the Republicans back Dean as DNC chairman 100%? Does that not throw up all sorts of red flags? Dayum!

#2 "I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for, but I admire their discipline and their organization"

What an ass. Dean governed as a fiscal conservative who IIRC supported gun ownership rights and opposed gay marriage.

Dean's rise represents the triumph of attitude, of pretending that sneering and rollin' up yer sleeves, mad-as-hell posturing can substitute for a coherent and relevant policy platform.

#3 I'd always wondered how much of the campaign persona was legit - and how much was calculated bullshit... Lol - thx, lex!

#4 Dean's the anti-Clinton. Clinton was a liberal who mastered the art of soothing, centrist rhetoric couched in clever aphorisms ("Make abortion safe, legal and rare"; end welfare as we know it").

Dean's a centrist who's mastered the art of far-left rhetorical posturing, couched in grunts, insults and screams.

#7 Dean should really be in a commercial for Preparation H. Such a believable scream could only come from the, uh, heart.

#8 Bummer - State Party Chairs Choose Fowler over Dean...so the runaway train hits a temporary siding

Not to worry, Frank: Howard Dean won the backing of state Democratic Party leaders Monday, putting him in a strong position to win the chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee. The party's presidential front-runner in 2003 won 56 votes from the state chairs and Democratic activist Donnie Fowler won 21 during a national conference call. The state chairs ignored a recommendation made Sunday by the executive committee to back Fowler. Other candidates' support Monday was in single digits.
"We're asking all of our state chairs and vice chairs to follow our endorsements," Brewer said, noting that would bring 112 votes. "And we think they will."

#10 Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!!!!!!

Just about the time you think the Demos may be regaining some sanity....and up jumps Boxer, Reid, Pelosi, Kennedy....and the biggest gift of all Dean!!

There is no hope for the Demo Party at a national level...they are nailing the nails in their own coffin.
