The Center for Media and Public Affairs compiled the stats. From my own personal observations, I saw it and read it, while their findings on the blackout of the messages of Edwards/Kuccinich are accurate as well.
I will be pleased as piss for any Dem candidate to take back the White House.
I do agree that " all press is good press".
I don't agree that Dean imploded. He had, in comparison to the other candidates, a managing of perception on scale with GW Bush - the diffrence being that Bush's was all postive with no basis in fact & Dean's was all negative with no basis in fact.
Everything Dean did that showed the slightest emotion was labeled "unstable", while GW could haved jerked off into his cutom made Tony Lama boots & had Condi and Karen Hugh snowball it back & forth and he STILL would have gotten good press!
While I will back anyone in the 11/04 contest going against Bush, I will admit that I was itching to see a Dean/Bush debate. At some point they would have had a mike still live when off camera ...."You know George, you're one of the stupidest motherf***kers I ever met"!

I don't understand how the remaining Deaniacs still think Dean truly represents Democracy when the VOTERS say otherwise. Make no mistake Dean is in dire danger of crossing a fine line here from the people's champion to stubborn egomanic. When Lieberman lost every single state he dropped out. Why is Dean still running around again? Oh yes, for the people. The people that won't even vote for him ON A BET

I think the only person to blame is Dean.
I think after people saw his insane side, they decided he might not be the best one to trust with the football.

Howard Dean was "hype".....
The man brought alot of this on himself. Its really called and termed: "self-destruction."
I recall making significant comments, to you BT, concerning this and that the Democrats, overall, would not stand for someone who would be politically "unstable" or a Democratic "loose cannon".
It began prior to Iowa and the implosion began with the "I have a Scream speech." You discounted me then...but interestingly, seems that what was mentioned has happened, isn't it?
