GDP should take lessons from Howard Dean
Did anyone just see Howard Dean on CNN? Wow. He was GOOD. No matter what stupid question wolfie asked him about the Hillary/Barack squabbles, he tied it back to McCain.

Remember McCain? Howard got plenty of dirt out about him by deftly changing the subject. He talked about McCain's troubles with campaign financing, his desire to stay in Iraq for 100 years, his past ethical troubles and his refusal to reject the radical anti-catholic pastor.

I'd like to read some more about these things on DU. Wouldn't you?

1. You can find the anti-McCain stuff in Regular GD.
Once we have a nominee, this site will be nothing but.

2. I'll go check it out
Thanks. But I guess I don't understand why we can't have some of it in GDP too. McCain is part of the primaries. And it would add some much needed variety to the forum.

4. LOL
I guess I'm weird, but I think beating up on repugs is much more fun. Then again, I don't have a candidate yet. Anyway, try bashing McCain. It's easy as you say, but it's also FUN.

5. I kinda don't care bout GrandPa MadDag right now...cause if I do I'll start feeling...
sorry for him...cause in the GE he's going to be painted as the craziest goofy old coot America has ever known, plus he'll be talking to himself, walking in circles, and baying a full moon like a werewolf, so...

I'm saving up for then :headbang:

6. Your post made me laugh
But you know, the corporate media will line up behind him and control his image. You know they will, just as they do with chimp. It's sad but true. So it will be up to us to stir things up and get the information out in spite of them. That's what Howard did so brilliantly on CNN.

8. Oh yes, I do hear you, and it is all fun & games until of course it isn't...
This GE is going to be similar and at once very different is my guess. Just please don't ask me to explain the differences as yet. There is without doubt a change in the wind. And you're right, MSM is only comfortable reporting on such changes from their established positions. They really don't do well unless they're manipulating that environment of change so yeah...

I guess there's one thing that will be very similar to what we've seen previous i.e. the likelihood that we'll have to endure evermore talking heads talking :(:) It would be good to hear more from Howard I do agree there as well :hi:

9. He didn't do that on CNN today
But I'm sure he felt like it when he heard wolfie's stale questions.

10. Dean has been fantastic as
Chairman of the DNC. Both he and Obama have learned to turn it around on their political foes.
