Did the Pub psyops hurt Dean who is no longer Front Runner??

Then he gives a misconstrued speech in Iowa to give fodder to the Pub Pundits.

In my book, all the Dems would be better than Bush. But Dean is the one who reached out to get the X Generation and beyond. He is the one the Bush guys fear the most. And now they have hurt him.

1. I think it's a myth that dean reaches out beyond x-gen (to y gen, etc.).

At the MTV debate, there was very little enthusiasm for him from the young audience.

I've read that he hasn't done well with voters 18-25 in polls. IA proved that he was week with these people.

4. You haven't met many of the Dean staffers, have you?

Most of the Dean staff seems to fall into the
demographic where you claim he's not getting
any traction. (18-25).

Many of them have taken a year off from college
to participate in the early campaign.

The funny part is that some of the other attacks
on Dean claim that he *ONLY* gets traction among
the youngsters. I'm afraid this is another example
of "just keeping throwing stuff until something
sticks".

2. They are now going after Clark, Edwards, and Kerry

I think they concentrated on Dean because polls showed him to be the leader. Be prepared for spins and lies about the other candidates, which have already started. I think it is good that there are so many people who look like they might win, because the Repukes can't concentrate on one fellow.

5. They will attack anyone who appears to be in front of Bush.

Many folks think all the attacks on Dr. Dean were due
to something Dr. Dean did or something he was. They
weren't. He just happened to be the guy out in front
spear-heading the attack on Bush.

Ergo, he had to be stopped.

Now that others are picking up Dr. Dean's rallying
calls, they must also be stopped. So the great Right
Wing Smear Machine will now direct some of its spew
towards those other candidates as well.

If any of you thought your candidate was immune,
you're about to be proven wrong.

6. I concur

The Pubs are determined to win at ALL costs

3. Definitely they and the press tried to decide this and go on the attack

but the people of Iowa said "Uh we don't think so, we aren't going to let you decide for us". They (were) sure that the race was over and they wanted to start the national campaign now. Sorry the people are going to get to see more of all these guys for some time.
