1. um, could you elaborate a little on this?
I didn't hear the show. Did she give her opinion as to why the Democratic Party will never get behind Dean now?

3. ..because Gephardts attacks were effective...
... it was a slam on Gephardt, not Dean.

5. maybe I need a dunce cap today. I still don't get it.
:dunce:

She's saying that the Democratic Party won't get behind Dean because Gephardt's attacks on Dean were effective?

I'm normally somewhat intelligent, but I can't piece this one together. Could you hold my hand and slowly walk me through this one?

7. Sure...
She is implying that after the effectiveness of Gephardts attacks on Dean, Dean's stock has tumbled, and thus the party won't back him.

I can't explain it any clearer.

2. Were they ever?
He was demonized by every Democrat running.

6. It was a murder/suicide
according to one of the talking heads last night. Gephardt mortally wounded Dean, but killed himself in the process.

9. Gephardt fell on his sword to prop up Kerry
Let's just be blunt about what happened.

I'm glad the prick was crying today. He deserves to cry.

13. In all fairness...
I was calling Gephardt that long before he decided to run for President again.

12. Let's not forget the number of people that died thanks to Gephardt
for his standing in the Rose Garden with Bush on IWR. Who is crying for them?

14. That tore it for me
That picture of Gephardt and Bush absolutely eliminated Gephard as a serious candidate. Plus he's the guy who presided over the Democrats fall from power in the House.

15. On to Clar, uh, I mean, New Hampshire
So, who do we plan to immolate next? I'm thinking a three way firing squad of Kerry, Dean and Clark. Lierbman will stand far away and alone and log hand grenades into the general vicinity.

Edwards seems to get the stay behind the firing line idea better than the rest of our guys.

I am now very happy with Edwards, but I have a (sinking) feeling he could be the contestant to bet on on this island.
