Howard Fineman the Media Whore says Dean is Ahead in Iowa
Fineman on Today show, says that Dean is ahead in IA. He didn't mention the source.

And yes, Katie repeats Jayson Blair Wilogren's meme that Ho Ho has become camera shy,

Even though that was disproven by Dean News Roundup.

If it's true that Dean is ahead in Iowa, then this is good news! :bounce:

2. Fineman's sources?
interviewing other reporters. Even though I think he is probably right about this. I don't see Howard Fineman do any real hard lifting like actually interviewing lots of real voters.

3. Careful about what "Howard the Duck" (Fineman, that is!) says...
He also thought Dub looked good in that Top Gun flight suit!:eyes:

B-)

5. I know, but there might be a poll coming out that we don't know about yet
so we'll see what happens when Zogby starts polling Iowa tomorrow.

7. Keep working as if Dean were 10 points behind
For one, I believe scarcely a word that comes out Fineman's mouth.

For two, Iowa polls have been all over the place of late. (Don't like the current poll? Wait till tomorrow. It'll change, just like the weather.)

For three, there's still plenty of Iowans who haven't gotten handwritten letters yet. So go to the Dean website and download the names of a few people to write!

10. I love it! Inncoulate self first, then rely on MWO's whore of the year
to spin for your guy. What clever things will you the Dean camp come up with next?

Y'all are still out there bashing Carville, O'Donnell, Phillips, et. al. while relying on guys like Fineman, Lunz, and Matthews to do the "unstoppable shuffle."

That may not tell the Dean campaign anything, but it sure does a lot of other folks.

11. Too close to the caucus to care what any poll says.
Now is the time to get to real work. This is how WE WIN. By outworking by an order of magnitude the other guys.

12. Name calling because someone is getting negative press. . .
. . .is so unbecoming, but expected.
