Yo, Deaniacs. I was told that Dean had a way of getting himself on CNN
by saying something deliberately controverial, and then once he was being covered by the networks, switching the subject to what HE wanted to talk about.

My question is this. First, do I have that right, or does the description need tweeking?

And second, do you see anyone out there in Dem land who might be using the same tactic?

I had a germ of an idea that maybe Kerry said "terrorized" on purpose, then people are talking about what's going on in Iraq at least.

Just an idea.

What say you, oh Dean experts.

1. i can recall him doing that a year ago with terror alerts
Remember when he said everytime Bush goes down in the polls, theres a terror alert. He was making the rounds then. When he gets on TV hes pretty consistent about what he says. Hes good at sticking to talking points which actually have been pretty consistent since when he was running for President.

2. It's an interesting theory
but it's most likely a reflection on his honesty, as well as his anger over what *hitler is doing to our country and the world.
