I'm amazed by how Dean supporters are so QUICK to post and gloat on favorable pieces why D.C. pundits but bash a pundit when somewhat negaitive on their almight savior.

I wish I could say I understand what you are saying here. I kinda get the jist of it. I don't gloat about positive articles. They're like record reviews. They are for entertainment only. But unfortunately people here think every article is a succinct, valid argument. It's just an example of how some folks can't think for themselves and don't care who does their thinking for them.

I will support Dean if he wins but Clarence Page is absolutely right - where is the substance in Dean's message? All I ever hear is "you have the power". NO, Mr. Dean - you have the power to change things - if you had sound plans to do so.

You don't have to fake like you like Dean in any way. It's just disingenuous when your message is so very clear. The substance is in Dean's message. Just because some morons can't find it doesn't mean it's there. Clarence Page talks like a man who can never find the G spot on a woman, if you know what I mean. "It's a myth". No, Page, you're just bad at finding it. To find the substance you have to be open to the message. Let me know when that happens.

Howard Dean told the rest to candidates to stop focusing on Iraq - that AMericans are more concerned about domestic issues. Isn't it DEAN who's used the "anti-war" rhetoric in all his stump speeches and brought it up in debate after debate to criticize his opponents? How convenient of him to take the high road last night.

You shouldn't say "all of his stump speeches" because candidates have one stump speech which they add to or subtract from as time moves on. I only say thi sbecause oit reflects a certain lack of understanding of the campaign. Anyway, the war has been part of his speech, but his point is that there's little new to add, that we have a slew of domestic issues that fall by the wayside. Dean's not saying we shouldn't talk about it, he's saying we don't need to devote all that time to it.

The media has labeled Dean the frontrunner since the summer and he shouldn't complain about the media attention he's received. It's drowned out candidates with far more substance and with solutions to our problems.

Take a look, Dean HAS BEEN the frontrunner. Not becaus of labels put on by the media. But because of ME. And people like me. For instance, how many letters have you written to undecided Iowans or New Hampshirites in support of your guy? I've written a handful, but I know people who have written dozens, hundreds of letters. How many Dean supporters have traveled from their home states to Iowa or NH to knock on doors for Dean?

Most importantly, why do you ignore successful campaigns like these and claim that it's about the media? I have my own theory.

If this election were about substance, Howard Dean would not be the frontrunner. That's the truth!!

You have a serious language problem. You don't even know what "truth" means.
