CNN Painting the SotU as the Beginning of Bush v. Dean.

[robsul82]

Interesting little bit here, CNN's coverage (I don't know about any other channels) is citing alleged example after example of Bush taking shots at Dean and "setting up what will - could be a great debate later this year." Weird.

Later.

1. Another example of the media conspiracy to "get" Dean?

4. Get Dean?

If they are setting up a Dean vs Bush, I would guess that means they are pushing Dean right now. I still think Dean can win in New Hampshire, I acknowledge my candidate will not.

6. A wild thought

I know NH is supposed to be more liberal than many states, but with Dean, Clark, Kerry and Edwards all appearing as viable liberal candidates (to varying degrees), your candidate Joe could be right there in the thick of things.

2. no way

CNN is part of the machine they would love to run against Dean. Keep up the work howard they are taking the bait! Woo hoo

5. On NBC it was Bush v Kerry

Tom Brady and the DOMA line were linked to Massacusetts and Kerry. Then Kerry was interviewed directly after.

7. Actually, he remarked "Must have wrote it BEFORE Monday"

That's exactly what he said, alluding to the changing dynamic

[Clark Can WIN]

8. of course the speech was prepared in large part weeks ago

9. Like Uncle Karl couldn't have stuck something in about Clark?

C'mon.

Later.

10. The big winner here? JOHN KERRY

Bush gives a radically rightwing speech in an attempt to contrast himself with Dean, making himself look out of touch with America. John Kerry 1 Shrub 0.
