Howard Dean on Meet the Press

Sadly the Media doesn't want him to be President. Shame. He would have made a damn fine one.

The media treatment of that "roar" was proof that there is no such thing as a liberal bias.

i can only pray that he'll get a second chance at the democratic nomination in '08.

free howie.

Dean was always the one who was willing to present the actuality of the 'opposition's voice'. Because of the timidity of the Democratic leadership, they backed away from someone who actually took a stand. I DO hope that he is allowed to continue, and keeps on voicing what many people feel.

The difficulty will come, however, if he does get the message out there, and we have to watch again that a majority of the people still willingly support the current regime. BUT, if that happens, we can at least know that they are making a choice in a scenario that includes a real point of view.

"Howard Dean, a perfect gift to the Republican Party."

Uh oh. The secret's out. Republicans: switch to Top Secret Plan B.

Papa - I actually agree with Kucinich, but he never got any media attention, and therefore never registered with 'the masses'. Dean had that grass-roots army building - how dare he.

I find the FAR more interesting party nomination to be the Republican one. Where are your leaders? Condoleeza? No offense, but we know that won't jive with the same America that loses jobs but still believes the economy has turned around.

Playing well in the south?
*looks at your proposed Republican ticket: a black woman and a New Yorker*
I think he'd play as well as that. In the South.

dunno, bway. i'd like to see condie at the top of the ticket, but it's gonna be a dogfight. frist thinks it's his and he's delusional. santorum just had a bad hair day that will haunt any run he tries to make along with any number of photoshop possibilities of his man on dog comments. brownback wants it, but he's so abrasive that even his own mother wouldn't consider putting him on the ticket. georgie p gets mentioned a lot, but he's not even popular enough to win his own state anymore much less a national election (unless his getting unpopular in ny is part of a shrewd strategy to woo the south, "the man ny hated!"). rudy gets bandied about a lot but it'll be tought to get him past the vast right wing conspiracy. mccain can still woo the right with a few overtures and seal his own fate between now and then. who knows, maybe arnie'll get that pesky amendment overturned.

'08 is far enough away that i think it's still a wide open race as long as slick dick stays with his plan to stay home and nurse his one good valve. there's a lot of dark horses that i'm not even going to delve into. i think the gop primary will be at least as entertaining as the dems this time around and that our side is far less settled than yours.

but please, we're taking away from what should be a lovely discussion of howlin' howie.

nah, frist isn't going down in flames anytime soon. there won't even be a vote on the nuke option tomorrow. look for a few dems to vote for cloture. they'll save the filibuster fight for when it really counts and when it can really hurt the gop: nominating the new supremes.

then again, i guess a few gop'ers could vote with the dems so as to ensure that the nucular option can be invoked...but i doubt it. despite the screaming from partisans, this brawl will be postponed until it really matters (i.e. when the media has not beat the public to death with the story so much that they've tuned it out).

you heard it here third.
