Reply #106: in a word, dean appears arrogant. [View All]

[kodi]

regardless of whether he is right or not, and usually he is right, dean is a typical smart-ass know-it-all who rubs people the wrong way.

i say this as one who has donated to his and the american people's cause, but he turns off a lot of people by his attitude.

its not that he is is just smart, albeit he is that, but that he acts like a jerk all too often.

i'll definity vote for the guy, but i wish he would not act so much like his shit don't stink.

when i have to spend more time convincing people that dean is not really a jerk than i do defending his policy positions, then i know the man has a problem reaching out to people who are his natural allies but are put off by his personality. and anyone who thinks this is not going to be a big problem for dean doesn't understand politics.

i'm not asking the doc to start wearing a hairshirt held together by the threads of humility, but he has got to realize soon that the way he presents himself to people is going to have to change if he wants to be president.
