PREDICTION: If Dems lose in November, Dean will be blamed [View All]

[LittleDannySlowhorse]

Dean's been out of the race for almost a week now and I'm still seeing negative stuff about him here every day.

I thought that since he dropped out when he said he was going to, and especially since he made a statement condemning Nader's run (which he didn't have to make at all, but he did it for the good of the party), that some of the negativity against him would finally dissipate. Silly me.

While it's nowhere near the levels it was at when he was on top of the polls, I'm surprised by the fact that some people here still feel the need to disparage him and his supporters. Hopefully, this will peter out soon, but I wouldn't count on it. Everybody loves a good scapegoat -- just look at the Republicans pathological need to blame Bill Clinton for everything. I don't see any reason why it should be any different around here, and if (whoever) loses this fall, I can already see the posts saying that so-and-so lost because in the primaries, Dean said such-and-such about them, was doing Karl Rove's work for him, and so forth.

You heard it here first.
