The CW Starts to Shift

By Anonymous -
We're seeing the titanic shift of the conventional wisdom from "Dean can't win" to "Dean will win." There were two small but significant events yesterday (besides the phenomenal Austin rally.) First, Hardball's Chris Matthews predicted on Charlie Rose that Dean will get the nomination. Second, Lou Dobbs on CNN's Moneyline quoted Dean in the exchange below.
DOBBS: This is reaching what Howard Dean is really putting in stark epic proportions, saying that this is bigger than Watergate. What do you think?

Like perhaps most readers of this site, I'm not a fan of the Bush Administration. Last year I devoted a goodly portion of my life to ousting it, including a trip to freezing cold Cedar Rapids and Waterloo, Iowa, where I canvassed for the Dean Campaign in the runup to the caucuses. I admit that I lost faith in the Dean movement after that, and I floundered around a bit in trying to figure out who to support, eventually setting upon Johnny Sunshine Edwards (or was it Clark?). I have never been a big fan of John Kerry, to say the least. It's tempting to fall into cynical sniping, which I myself have done at times. But I find it dispiriting and ultimately corro
