Obituary for Dean's campaign (2002-2004)
Howard Dean's campaign, a highly controversial campaign that won wide support but lost it due to Dean's behavior, died tuesday night. It was one year, seven months, and 26 days old.

1. I'm undecided, which means I'm
not a definite Dean supporter, but I'm not sure if I'd write him off just yet. Granted, though, I think Kerry and Clark are far more electable against the Boy King Impostor, aka the First Idiot, than Dean.

3. you know this is the kind of post that doesn't help the atmosphere
on DU and make us Dean supporters very hospitable to other candidates.
Dean has won DC, came in third in Iowa, and came in a solid second in NH. He has a viable organization and lots of money. He is no longer the front runner but he is still viable. He also has more pledged delegates at this time (including super delegates) than anyone else.

5. Paul Wellstone would be ashamed of your post.
Dean's campaign was not about anger, bitterness and attacking Bush and others and you know it.

Who do you support? And gee, I wonder if they tap into any anger in the populace that wants Smirky thrown out really bad?

You're right, don't attack the UNLECTED FRAUD because campaigns aren't based on bringing down the other person. :eyes:

6. Typical DLC bullshit spin
The fact that the DLC would rather kiss Bush's lying fascist ass than be angry over what they have helped him do to this country is evidence enough of how deep this cancer has ingrained itself into the Democratic party.

Benito Mussolini, who knew a thing or two about fascism, said it would be more accurately called "corporatism". Mussolini would have loved the DLC. :grr:

7. WWWD?
You have Paul Wellstone all over your posts... do you really think he'd approve of your attitude? I had heard he was a kind, thoughtful man. What in the world would spark such a mean-spirited thread?

Statistically, you're wrong. Many candidates have lost both Iowa and New Hampshire.. it's a long primary season. Save the obituary.
