Reply #63: I like Dean, *but* [View All]

(You knew there had be a but)

1. I don't think Clark dropped out too soon. If he had come 2nd in TN, it would have been a little tougher decision, but I'd reconciled that we needed to win TN to have any hope, and that we weren't going to do that, because the media had given big love to Edwards and big beatings on Clark.

2. It's his call. I thought it was maybe a bit too soon, although if it was to erase any black mark that he or Lehane left with the intern crap, or if it had to be done now to trade for the VP or other Cabinet slot, I'm happy Clark's still in the game.

3. I still kind of like Dean, and I especially like the movement. But, man, the poor guy has been so savaged by the media that he has little chance in the primaries and would probably get mauled in the generals--unless he came back and win due to a spectacular turnaround, rather than just Kerry imploding due to scandal (which looks like the only real shot Dean has right now).
