It's on right now. Watch!

Hopefully he'll clarify the Democratic agenda for all the naysayers out there...

Well Dean says they are going to raise the minimum wage. No surprise there.

Something about health care...

All is explained. :)

I don't have cable. v.v

Three cheers for DNC chairman Howard Dean.

You pulled it off, old buddy old pal, we made it.

Did anyone else think his appearance during the election was a little sparse. Just like Pelosi, he seemed to be doing his best to stay off the cameras. Whatever works, I guess.

He's a liability just as Kerry. They were wise to hide him away.

Neither pelosi nor dean were running for office.

The endless banter about pelosi that aired in several states probably turned even more people away from the republicans.

"who is this pelosi woman? the president? is she running for office? who cares? wtf is with this bullshit in these adds, lying bunch of crooks trying to BS us with this nosnense, what are they trying to divert attention away from?"

Pelosi was; all the Representatives were.

O RLY? Pelosi was indeed up for election, she won massively.

Not to mention that it's entirely valid to point out that she would be the Speaker of the House.

Ah, was honestly unaware.

At any rate, she wasnt up for election in any of the races where she was used in attack ads.

I cant imagine the republicans wasted any money running ads against her in SF.

Indeed, but i think it was a very seriously miscalculation to think that very many people cared about that.

Wasnt a referendum on nancy pelosi, after all.

I gotta admit, when he said the Democratic victory was "helped by the President", I laughed out loud.

I love Howard Dean, though, despite the BIIYAWWWW!!!

It really was a great statement. It being true made it so sound so much sweeter. :)

It was pretty awesome. (No, Fris, I'm not gloating *shifty eyes*)

Hehehe

Love Howard Dean. I would have voted for him no problem. And Jari Askins, whose opponent kept saying "too liberal for Oklahoma" won. Can't believe it. The last Dem they said that about lost miserably. Like OK Democrats qualify as liberal.:rolleyes:

Love Howard Dean.

Again ... I love you ... marry me.

Again ... I love you ... marry me.Me and my nine cats?

Me and my nine cats?

I'll marry you, but only seven of your nine cats.

That really was unfair to him (not what you said, but the whole "scream" debacle). Check out what Wiki has to say:

Dean attended a post-caucus rally for his volunteers in Iowa to deliver his concession speech, aimed at cheering up those in attendance. Shouting over the cheers of his enthusiastic audience, Dean didn't realize the crowd noise was being filtered out by his unidirectional microphone, leaving only his full-throated exhortations audible to the television viewers. To those at home, it sounded as if he was raising his voice out of sheer emotion. Additionally, Dean began his speech with a flushed-red face, clenching his teeth as he rolled up his sleeves. Recordings from within the crowd made it clear that Dean was shouting in order to be heard over the cheers of the crowd.

Many in the television audience criticized the speech as loud, peculiar, and unpresidential. In particular, this quote from the speech was aired repeatedly in the days following the caucus:

"Not only are we going to New Hampshire, Tom Harkin, we're going to South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico, and we're going to California and Texas and New York … And we're going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan. And then we're going to Washington, D.C., to take back the White House! Byaaah!!!"

This final "Byaaah!!!" has become known in American political folklore as either "the Dean Scream" or the "I Have a Scream" speech (an allusion to I Have a Dream). There is disagreement as to how to transcribe the scream. Some supporters suggest that it should be spelled "yeah!", while many in the print media, such as Time Magazine transcribed it as "yearrgh!" or some variation thereof. Comedian Dave Chappelle parodied this famous scream, translating it as "Byaaah!" in several mock sketches, one with Vice President Dick Cheney.

Dean conceded that the speech did not project the best image, jokingly referring to it as a "crazy, red-faced rant" on The Late Show with David Letterman. In an interview later that week with Diane Sawyer, he said he was "a little sheepish … but I'm not apologetic". Sawyer and many others in the national broadcast news media later expressed some regret about overplaying the story. In fact, CNN issued a public apology and admitted in a statement that they indeed may have 'overplayed' the incident. The incessant replaying of the "Dean Scream" by the press became a debate on the topic of whether Dean was the victim of media bias. Such reports certainly fit with reports of "unelectability", as shown by Green's Atlantic Monthly piece. The scream scene was shown an estimated 633 times by cable and broadcast news networks in just four days following the incident, a number that does not include talk shows and local news broadcasts. However, those who were in the actual audience that day insist that they were not aware of the infamous scream until they returned to their hotel rooms and saw it on TV.

I don't have cable. v.v

comedy central is a basic channel where I live, I think. *shrug* my parents have satalite anyway.

That really was unfair to him (not what you said, but the whole "scream" debacle). Check out what Wiki has to say:

yes, that was COMPLETELY unfair to dean. I was really hoping he'd win, and then they blew that totally out of proportion. he may have managed the budget of his home state brilliantly, be one of the first sincere, non-pandering politicians in the race, but look, he yelled! he's obviously unfit for leadership. boo media. boo kerry. boo american political system.

BYAHHH for Dean!!

I'll marry you, but only seven of your nine cats.

hehe that include the jeri ryan pussy cat?:D

That took me a minute to get, then made me sad that I did...

Pelosi was; all the Representatives were.

Yes, but she was only running in one small part of the Country. Most people have nothing to do with her. But I said, quite some time ago, that nothing scared the republicans more than the thought of "House Speaker Pelosi."

They talk about her like kids talk about monsters under their beds or in their closets. And like with such kids, people just assume they're anxious over nothing.

Get your mind out of the gutter! :D
but I like the company here! ;)
Neither pelosi nor dean were running for office. this is true, the office was given to them by the voters. ;)
