121. Your definition of "scary" is too narrow.
I'm sure hardly anyone was "scared" in that definition. What scared many people, however, was the fact that he lost it before our very eyes.

I cannot see how he can possibly beat George Bush if this is indicative of his behavior. Many Dean supporters tell me that it is similar to his stump speeches.

That is what is "scary" in nearly every form of the word, except the definition equating it with "terrified" (which is, of course, the form you're using in this post.)

Was I terrified? Of course not. Did his behavior "scare" me? You bet it did - in that I'm afraid that it's going to cost him dearly, and we can't afford that if he wins the nomination

Look, I'm a Clark supporter, but had Clark not entered the race, Dean was my guy and was still my #2 until recently.

Not anymore. Kerry, Clark, and Edwards are all better choices at this point. We cannot afford for Dean to win the nomination if this is a preview of what's in store.
