I'd just want them to show some deference for Kerry.

We heard shit from the Deaniacs about how Kerry won because the media carried him on their back.

We heard that Kerry won because he ran a dirty campaign.

No. Kerry won because he had a message. He told us he was more electable. And he was more electable. More electable than Dean.

That's why this was the easiest nominating contest ever for a non-incumbent Democrat. The whole thing was over after February.

Dean would have lost too, you know.

You can't think of one state that Dean could have carried that Kerry lost. I could think of some that Dean could have lost. WI, for example.

The funny thing about it was that Kerry was a liberal perceived as somewhat of a centrist. And Dean was a centrist(center-right, tax cutting, business suck-up as well) while he was perceived as a liberal.

Which would you rather have had?

Sure they used flip flopping against Kerry.

But Dean would have given them plenty of material too.

He stuck his foot in his mouth more than any other candidate in modern political history. The guy is tactless and I am so glad he lost in the primaries.
