Dean's CNN appearance tonight: The Storm and The Fury
Advertisements [?]
Having read the thread, the accusations, the counter-accusation, and the rest, I have come to the following conclusions:
(Note: I didn't actually see the appearance, this is just based on the responses)

Some people felt the appearance show a lack of control.
Some people felt the appearance showed an appropriate level of intensity.
There was some back-biting and counter-back-biting over these responses, mostly based on previous bad blood between some of the camps.
But...
I think the majority of the people who were responding were not doing so out of malice for the Dean camp, but out of concern for how the appearance would be taken by the not-so-political voters out in TV land. It is possible to agree with what he said and how he said it and still be worried by how it will be taken at large. If the rhetoric was heated ("looked crazy", "looked drunk", etc), well, that is unfortunate for the cause of civility, but it certainly isn't outside the realm of discourse thats been used to describe appearances by other candidates; this one just happens to be condensed and heated by the immediacy of the situation.

Comments? Questions? Deathbed Confessionals?
Pax.
