Dean kicked butt on Meet the press
Excerpt:
"What George Bush has done is appalling because they have taken our money, $16 billion for the oil and gas industry in tax credits in the energy bill, hundreds of billions of dollars in the pharmaceutical prescription bill going to drug companies and prescription companies, HMOs and insurance companies, instead of the seniors. That is far worse than what we're talking about. But I do--it does bother me greatly that somebody would make a big deal out of the special interests and then get most of their money from special interests. We have 11 percent of our contributions of $2,000 checks; 89 percent is less than that, and that's not true of any other candidate running for the presidency."

Dean still can't stand up to the Clinton - Mc Aullife machine!
They pretty well dismanteled him. He isn't an establishment candidate who the leadership can be sure will continue to suck up to special interests. His funding is drying up because his party (The Democratic Party) feels he is too much like, well, a Democrat. For the little guy and all. Loves jobs, hates employers. Heath care of all, including illegals, paid for by taxes on "the rich" (family of 4 over $ 50,000 a year)
I like Dean. I'd like to see the election be a battle of ideas and chance for voters to repudiate socialism by voting against him.
The Republicans come up with better programs when they have a tough challenger. Kerry makes Ted Kennedy look like a conservative!

Dean is about done. Kerry looks good in all states for this week's primaries and the Dean-machine is running out of cash. Unless Dean can pull out some miracles Tuesday he's thru. Too bad, because I'd much rather see Bush run against Dean. By November people would be so tired of Dean's arrogance and incessant bitching and whining that Bush would win in a huge landslide.

That's OK. Even if Dean isn't the nominee, he did his job.
To quote Dr. Dean, "Look, we came out with a very strong message. We shot to the top. All the other candidates took up our message. I thinks that's fine. Imitations is the sincerest form of flattery and it's actually great for the Democratic Party that we're starting to get some backbone again."

The democrats NEVER had one to begin with.... every time Clinton had a major issue go on in the world or at home he ran off or pulled out quickly and apologetically.

sounds like a loser and a bunch of sour grapes....he has too much pride to simply thank the winner
