Vyce 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2004 I totally missed this one..... ....in the first post does Tyler pine away at Dean being a kind-hearted man? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MikeSC Report post Posted February 17, 2004 I think the yell just confirmed most people's fears that the guy was a total nutcase. There were a lot of questions about his stability and that didn't help. Also no one wins elections on anger. Man, the Dems are in a world of trouble, then. God knows they haven't actually campaigned on issues yet. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2004 I can almost guarantee that when you ask your average joe blow about Howard Dean and what they think of him, the FIRST thing that would come to their mind is "aaaarrrrrrggggggh" before any single issue. Quayle. Potatoe. Yep. Dean's Yaaaaaaargh is to Quayle's Potatoe. Thankfully for the other candidates, Bush's carrier landing is to Dukakis in the M5 tank. However, the Yarrrrrgh wasn't the reason the campaign died. It was the fallout. As I said, he turned off a lot of Iowans with his RAGERAGERAGE campaign. That would work a lot better over in this state than it would over there. The campaign was already dead, and Yaaaaaaaaaargh was simply the soundbyte that will be associated with it.

Hogan Made Wrestling 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2004 Announcing that he's a "metrosexual" didn't help. That was never really talked about outside of political junkie circles, though. Dean was simply the Steve Forbes of 2004. A little heat early on, but nobody was REALLY going to vote for him. -=Mike I never thought of that one, but it's a good comparison. Dean had about as much a chance of getting elected as Forbes did as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
