Dean's (Possible) Demise - A Theory

[matcom]

Caveat: I was/am/still a Deanie. Dean's anger inspires me. It did. It will. It won't end.

CaveatII: I volunteered for Kerry's reelection campaign for the Senate. I drove to Boston, worked the phone banks. I am proud of that.

I have no special knowledge as to what happened, what is happening, what will happen. I am of TWO camps: ABB & ABL

What happened to Dean? Maybe nothing happened to Dean.

Yes, the 'reinvention' may have cost him (much like it might have cost Gore). People were fired up when he was yelling. Maybe they aren't so fired up anymore (I don't pretend to know).

A radio host (liberal here in MA) today said something that made some sense to me. He was reporting from SC and was interviewing Dems. They were talking about the primaries, the turnout, the polls. HIS conclusion, based on interviews, was the following:

Dems are SO pissed (as well as Independents) at Bush* that they are of the belief, rightly or wrongly, that Kerry is the MOST ELECTABLE against Bush. Call it foreign policy, call it Senatorial experience, call it media-bashing against Dean, call it what you will. Maybe more people agree with Dean on issues but maybe, just maybe more people see the one and only prize - BUSH OUT!

I do not know who is right but i DO know this: MORE PEOPLE ARE VOTING IN THESE PRIMARIES THAN EVER BEFORE. MORE PEOPLE ARE PASSIONATE THAN EVER BEFORE. MORE PEOPLE WANT THIS FASCIST REGIME GONE THAN EVER BEFORE. SO FAR, MORE PEOPLE THINK KERRY CAN KICK BUSH'S ASS!

That, my friends, is not a bad thing no matter WHO you are for. Can i vote Kerry? YOUR DAMNED RIGHT! WILL i vote Kerry? YOUR DAMNED RIGHT!

SO, what will happen to Dean? (I am making an assumption here), I do NOT know. maybe you can help me out (again, ASSUMING A LOT).

Anywhoo, whether or not Dean is in trouble is a matter for another debate. If Dean can pull this out, I will be happier than a clam. If Kerry sweeps the country, I will be happier than a clam.

BRING ON THE NATIONAL DEBATE!!!

I have just ONE more thing to say. WHOMEVER gets the nod, DO NOT let us down and let up on your attacks against BUSH*!!! DO NOT or YOU will pay DEARLY!!
