The Note on Howard Dean
The note writes quite a bit on Howard Dean today, both in the area of his appearance on Meet the Press
As well as on his announcement today
But I thought the most interesting item for most of the readers of this blog would be the fact that the note linked to this page and cited some of the quotes from the open thread written in response to the Meet the Press appearance. The important thing for everyone here to remember is that people read this blog! We have already heard about other campaigns checking us out and it certainly isn't debatablee that the media does as well. I know I'll always give some extra thought before I post something - and I hope you'll give extra thought when you comment as well!
Those two contrasts perfectly encapsulate the riddle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a question that is the essence of deanforamerica.com. If Howard Dean had a "normal" candidacy, yesterday's shifting, evasive, base-alienating performance on "Meet the Press" would have devastated his prospects.
A review of his senior staff's reaction suggests they couldn't have cared less, however.
To say Tim Russert was significantly more prepared for the interview than Howard Dean would be to insult Tim.
As well as on his announcement today
Today, Howard Dean's announcement speech will be seen live by more supporters than any announcement in the history of presidential politics (we are pretty sure ?… ).
