Howard Dean's "I Have a Scream" Speech:

Serious discussion area.
You realize that sometimes you're not okay, you level off, you level off, you level off...

Was Howard Dean "out of line" by the way he acted in that speech?

Yes (if you choose this, please post more info as to why)

i wouldn't count out edwards just set. it had a very surprising showing in wisconsin. it'll be very interesting to see where the votes for dean will go now that he is out of the race. edwards has a chance, obviously not as much as kerry does, but he's still got a chance.

Kucinich is trying to steal Dean voters.
I think it's hilarious. They essentially have similar ideas, but trying something like that shows how desperate you are.

Yeah....Dean dropped out. I'm bummed, I really am. But as long as continues the cause, the doctor is still kickin some ass.

Wish I could've been in Rochester to meet the guy......

Welp.....go Kerry.

First off........I am going to control myself from going into a long long rant about how Howard Dean is the most amazing politician of all time and was the one man that I truly believe could turn this country back into something we can be proud of, ultimately ending in me crying because my one last hope in politics was ripped from me...........

*sigh*

Almost every single media source came out with a formal apology to Dean. The microphone was isolating his voice, and the noise in the room was so loud that he was just yelling over the crowd (people sooo excited that there was some remaining hope in a candidate). People in the room could barely hear him.

People came from around the country because they believed in him. Anything else would have been a sign that he didn't appreicate what they did, or believe in what he was doing.

Howard Dean is the greatest politician ever. He did things for our state that amaze me to this day. If he could have had the chance to be president and did HALF of what he did as governor......we would live in utopia. Without his programs......I would probably be on the street in a cardboard box (maybe....slightly exaggerating..........but he was GREAT).

I wish he would come live with me just to remind me daily that not all politicians are huge jackasses, who flip flop to get votes, don't speak their minds, and are in general sleazy catering to corporate interest morons.

Maybe he'll run for senate......or governor again. I'm just glad I got him to lead my state for most of my life...............

Yeah, I think Nader likes playing the "I got no shot in hell, but I'm here for the attention" sorta thing.
