1. Dean is a poor debator.

2. Nice self-outage.

Dean is among one of the best debators. He has consistently won, in my view, of his debates among the 9 candidates during the primaries.

3. I guess we see it differently.

I think he stumbles, stutters and is unconvincing in the debate format. I thought Nader demolished him a few months ago. And, by the way, how does anyone WIN a debate that has nine people in it? lol

7. Apparently you were not paying close attention.....

9. Actually we see the same thing, we just report it differently.

Dean 'stumbling' or 'stuttering' in a debate format?

lol is right.

4. Oh, you must be an expert......

How many times have you seen Howard Dean "live" and in action?
Share with us your vast resources wherein you see Howard Dean as a poor debator. Intelligent minds need to know.....

8. I've seen him plenty of times.

And he simply isn't very good in the format. He's better on the campaign trail or in one on one interviews. Just from a personality standpoint he is similar to George W Bush in many ways. He has a set of talking points he sets in his mind and never really deviates from them. He isn't the best user of the English language and he isn't very eloquent, but he gets labeled as a "straight talker" who tells it like it is and sticks to his guns and won't waiver. He has (had) a sort of 'cult of personality' similar to WBush. A group of handlers around him who knew how to present him (for the most part). The problem was he was an insurgent, not the establishment. Anyway, my 2 cents.
