Hardball guest undersetimating Dean as DNC Chair
He said that Dean would not do much his first year as Chair except raise money. He seemed pretty certain that Dean wouldn't cause any stirs with *'s policies.
I think (and fervently hope) he's wrong.

1. Who's the guest?
Terry Jeffries or some other deluded hack? (Don't know why Jeffries came to mind, but he's always dismissing Dems as irrelevant.)

2. That was Jonathon Fund. Trippi and the Dem lady (I can't remember her
name) both thought Dean will do well.

I don't think he meant cause stirs with Bush's policies. I think they were talking about causing stirs between Dean and other Dem politicians re policies.

4. Was it this John Fund? Look at this ugly Media Research Center meeting.
This John Fund hates all things Dean, so not surprising. Look at at the company he keeps.

If you had any doubts about the Media Research Center, give them up now. Here they are roasting "liberal" reporters.

6. Yep, that's him. He was just full of the standard RW BS about Dean.

The two Dems were very positive toward Dean - yes, Trippi was too.

I had no doubt who he was - a RW hack

3. He's trying to do like the others
And just underestimate Mr. Dean. I think all of them will be very surprised when 2006 elections for the house come around. :bounce:
He's already doing well doing meetings and everything and taking the lead. They're just appealing to their base: the pro-Bush republicans.

5. I'd rather they underestimate him; makes it easier for him to
achieve his goals. It's always easier to win if your "enemy" underestimates you.

8. They must be talking about a different Howard Dean than I know???
My gut feeling is that Dean is a very dynamic person and he is going to make huge waves and go after Bush full throttle. Kick some ass Dean. Pun-dents Suck!

And buy the way I was never a big Dean supporter but I think I know a little about his character. The guy is not capable of NOT causing "stirs" with someone who is fucking up the world. That's who the guy is and thats what we all like about him!
