2. Not only that
wasn't Dean supposed to win by a huge margin?
I am not going to worry too much about the polls.

11. Yeah, god forbid we have a candidate who people understand.
...and I'm being kind by assuming that Kerry is just misunderstood.

Say what you will about Dean, but he wouldn't be facing the flip-flop issues that Kerry is.

5. Actually the polls showed Kerry going up and Dean going down just before

the election. The polls were right. Everyone showed Kerry winning with in days before the primaries.

Also, lets not forget that a nasty 527 ad helped take down Dean. I hope the nasty folk who drummed up that ad will get to work on the greater opponent - Bush.

8. Yes they were, and in other words ... Kerry did what he needed to, to win
in the primaries, and he should damn well do it again. ;)
