Dean still not ready for prime time

December 16, 2004

Practical Democratic politicians, intent on reversing a decade of decline, feel trapped in a bad dream with Howard Dean as the most prominent prospect to be the party's national chairman. The mere thought of picking the 2004 presidential candidate who campaigned furthest to the left and was soundly repudiated by Democratic voters suggests inability to cope with political reality.

Dean has toned himself down, no longer resembling the screamer in Iowa or the radical populist on the campaign trail. His Sunday interview on NBC's ''Meet the Press'' was so polite it instantly was labeled the ''unscream.'' Nevertheless, Dean as chairman would identify Democrats as the party of the left, more interested in purity than victory.

Each candidate was subjected to an imaginary ''Russert test'' -- how he would fare Sunday mornings under Tim Russert's ''Meet the Press'' interrogation. Passing the test last Saturday with highest grades was former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk, who delivered a stemwinder. However, Kirk was a dreadful candidate running for the U.S. Senate in 2002, and one Democratic political consultant told me: ''He'd be another Ron Brown.'' Since Kirk is an African-American, as was Brown, that might sound racist. But the critic was referring to Brown's organizational failings as national chairman.




Douchebag.....I still stand on the principle that they destroyed Dean because he was the one they were the most afraid of...

1. Dean Has Not Been Repudiated By Anyone

He has however incited terror in the hearts of those whose pockets override their principles (and common sense).

2. I wonder how many...

"fcuk you" emails and letters and faxes, Novak gets every day. I bet he gets more of those than he does "Holiday" cards! Some call him "Novakula."

4. Ron Kirk was a wonderful candidate!

Early Dallas voting in 2002 had reports of DRE malfunctions in not allowing people to vote for Kirk. Perhaps another BBV hit?

Now, John Cornyn, the GOP candidate, IS an awful Senator!!!!
