Dean's Roger Daltrey moment -- is it preventing coverage of Kerry/Edwards?

[AP]

Or is it getting people interested in the primaries?

Will people watch to see what he does next, and then catch a ride on the Kerry or Edwards train?

Or does it make a joke of all the Democrats, like the media is saying, 'can you believe how crazy ALL these guys are?"

Discuss.

1. You are so right

It is a ploy to keep attention off of two very worthy candidates and impune them all...

2. No.. no...

Worthless DLC candidates...

3. You know that whole "no such thing as bad press" thing?

Yeah. Dean's the topic again. The media could give less than an M&M about Kerry or Edwards. Some will laugh, some will mock...and some will see the fighter this party so desperately needs to win in 2004.

6. Tell that one to Dukakis. (nt)

[robsul82]

7. Did Dukasis ever in his life...

...give a speech like that? No. See, the difference between the tank and the speech is that the speech can be seen as a good thing whereas the tank was something far different.

10. Well, you said "no such thing as bad publicity"--that isn't true (nt)

[robsul82]

12. And you equated...

...the tank to YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!gate, so.

4. It's the reason I won't vote for Dean...

& it's the reason Dean will lose the nomination.

[sandnsea]

5. Yup

It surely is. Today should have been 70% Edwards and maybe 30% Kerry and don't let the door kick you on the way out. Instead, we've got Howard. For better or worse.

9. Wahhhh

:cry:

8. Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean

LOL Coming in third was such a bad thing. The press corps is still showing up at Dean events, Dean is gonna take a day off to rest and tweak a bit, all is well for Dean.

11. Hehe, after Iowa...

I think Kerry's a little more Rolling Stone in his "Dean, Dean, Dean" comments. ;)

13. It's a long way to Boston this summer

Dean practicing his rebel yell for the southern primaries is news only to the media so they don't have to read position papers.
Go Kerry
