DEAN is the only Dem who can beat Bush.
DEAN reflects how most people feel.
DEAN has the best organization.
DEAN had the best money machine.
Okay. But now is the time for Dean to put up or shut up.
DEAN is not the only Dem who can beat Bush if KERRY leads with Men, Women, Seniors, and most importantly, Independents. DeeDee Meyers on NBC Today this AM claimed nearly HALF of NH voters yesterday were GOP or Independent. I doubt Rove has a Professor-X style pipeline directly to NH voters to make them do a double-fakeout-which-goblet-is-poisoned vote. Since GOPers can't vote against Bush in their own primary, perhaps they are expressing an early preference too. It's revealing to me that Moderate Dean leads strongly among Liberals, but the much more Liberal Kerry is leading among Moderates and Independents. Why? It's certainly not his sunny personality. {Youuuu Ranggggg?)
Organization? In NH, Dean went from 40% to 25%. Kerry went from 9% to 40%. Who seems more organized to you?
Money? Let's see in a month's time.
Dean could pull a Clinton and get the nomination- if he does, he deserves it. This year SHOULD have a real trial by fire for the nominee, to get him into fighting shape.
Deaniacs, ask yourself why the guy with the most money and the best message is getting clobbered. The answer does not rhyme with "bonspiracy". It also does not rhyme with "Yeahhhhhhhhrgh".
Kerrymen, ask yourself if moderates who support him now will abandon him in droves in the general.
Sharptoniacs, can anything stop your man? He got nearly 100 votes last night! No, not delegates. Votes.
