Thank you Edwards, Biden and Richardson for the public flogging of Dean. [View All]

These anti-Dean polls on MSNBC and CNN are all fed by the quotes of Edwards, Biden and Richardson. Instead of diffusing the situation, pointing out that his statements were taken out of context, or doing what most politicians do on the same side ("What Howard meant to say was... "He misspoke, but his point is important, which is ...") they created headlines everywhere this week.

And to those of you who want to say it's Dean's own doing, let me point out that these types of polls and anti-Dean momentum did not happen after he spoke. This all happened after the three hacks publicly denounced him, generating hundreds of articles about the party's division. Your every-day DUer could predict the fallout from their actions. No way in hell they didn't know they were pulling the rug out from under Dean.
