I'd be thrilled if him or Gore tossed their names in to the hat.
Funny, he was such a joke to cons when he was running. Well, jokes on them I guess. The fiscally responsible New Englander was right on everything pertaining to Iraq.

Screaming an enthusiastic "yeeeehaaaa" at a supporter rally: dangerously off-balance
Rushing into an unnecessary war that throws a region into chaos, kills many & displaces many more: principled & tough

How we love to alter history. As I recall EVERYONE was making fun of him for that and obviously it was the DEMS who considered him off-balance because after he did that his slumping campaign completely tanked and a ton of that Dem support shifted to Kerry - the "safer" choice.Originally Posted by Onceler

What dems? I was full supporter of Dean and still remain one.

Dems got skittish because Republicans made such a big deal about it.
It's only conservatives that I hear still bringing that up (O'Reilly, Coulter, Malkin, et al.) It's a big deal w/ them, that someone would actually say "yee-haaaaaaa!"

I find it funny how a guy who advocates a trillion dollar plus universal healthcare system at a time where the deficit is in the hundreds of billions can be viewed as "fiscally responsible".
Vermont was already fairly leftwing, has very high taxes and people leaving the state in droves, Dean was not a success at all, I can give some credit on not pushing gun control, that's about it.

That's why I said a ton of support, rather than all support. I think people who identified themselves more as Liberals than Democrats stuck with him, while people who identified themselves more as Democrats than Liberals, moved over to the Kerry camp because they wanted a safer, more electable shot.
Strangely enough, there was only 1 Liberal on politics.com who predicted that happening back in Dec 2003, all the rest thought Dean would win it all. CanadianKid actually got something right.

the media convinced many dems that Dean was out of line and perhaps unbalanced.
We are pretty much led around by the media.
Darned liberal media
Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
Proving tax cuts work!
Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.

Dean/Bush would have been a great race - a lot more interesting, and probably more competitive....

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

That was a media-driven perception.

Well one political tactic is to remove the candidate that is the biggest threat. Just as Bush did with McCain in his primary.
Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.

Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.

Exaxctly!
It was an obvious HIT JOB!
How that behavior equated with insanity was just the most collosal Pack Of Bullshit I have ever seen the media spew!
Anyone who can say the media is liberal after watching that HIT JOB is an complete sheep.
