In reply to the discussion: What Does Howard Dean Mean - No Need For The Dems To Panic..... [View all]napi21
(45,806 posts)27. I think he meant "I've been there!"
If you remember, he was leading by a lot and his popularity was rising. I was one of his supporter! THEN, THE MEDIA decided they just didn't want him, so they pulled that "microphone trick" and made him sound like a crazy man, and his numbers fell like a rock.
I'm very afraid that Bernie might face the same thing. Remember, tthe media likes the " party favorite" and they have the power to eliminate any candidate they wish. I have no idea how to stop something like that either!

I think so, and yes very disappointing. I can't figure out Dean's 'place' anymore. Sorry, but

At a guess, he means that the PTB Dems are starting to panic and they shouldn't (at least not yet).

He means, democratic socialists are welcome to vote for dems, but shouldn't pretend to be dems

Dean went down to the crossroads. Fell down on his knees. Asked Hillary for mercy.

The same message as all the other folks who talk about the Dems needing a 'white knight' to save
