National Review letter writer - we were mowed down by "Dean machine"

[murdoch]

The Republicans are finger pointing and blaming the "Dean campaign machine" for losses such as in Harris County, Texas

Thank you Howard Dean! You were not choice for 2004, but you make a great DNC chair!

Republican infrastructure is a farce. RNC has ignored Texas, pulling resources out and not putting any in. State GOP has had one reasonably competent election cycle since 1996. County parties are more interested in exec-committee BS than building organization. Meanwhile, the Dems took the 2004 Dean campaign machine, honed it for that general election, and have since exported it around the state. They're now successfully pushing it out into suburban counties.

4. Give credit to Obama for following Dean's direction.

It is precisely what Hillary didn't do. She thought she could win in the so called battle ground states. She might even have but how much better is the map now.

5. yup... it is all in the map...

I am sure that hrc would have also won big if she won the nomination, but I wonder if the map would have looked any different. I doubt she would have taken Arkansas for instance.

10. So who's the new Rove - Dean, Axelrod, or Emanuel?

Stuff that makes you think...

11. They were too busy mocking the phony scream

They believed their own propaganda, completely misread Dean, and paid the price.

And to all those who said he "wasn't ready" to be president -- HA. Dean would have been a damn site better than Bush these past four years. (But then, a urinal brush with no bristles and broken handle would have been better than Bush.)

12. Schweeeeet!

I don't think they're laughing at Dr. Dean anymore. You grossly underestimated him Republicans. But then again, you pretty much underestimated everything, didn't you?
