Reply #24: This makes even the most conspiratorial theories of my Dean cohort [View All]

Seem far-fetched.

Please, try to keep it plausible, at least.

The media ran with the Dean story because it was a real phenomenon, then jumped on him to try to make it a "race," then trashed him completely when he was slipping.

He is still the major character and icon of the campaign, even as he is represented in almost wholly negative terms.

Kerry is a cipher by comparison, a faded figure whom they will eviscerate constantly once and if--heaven forbid--he becomes the nominee.
