Howard Dean's supporters think he has gotten a raw deal from the media.

nah... that ain't it.

here's the real reason for dean's decline:

Howard Dean has a heavy head. He's solid everywhere, a Chunk. Now chunky can be good (Bill Clinton got away with it), but Mr. Dean has a chunky neck, which is off-putting, and at some level reminds people of Mike Dukakis. His "scream speech" was a media bandwagon. I thought it was a fine rah-rah speech for a room full of young people, and reporters aren't young. Anyway, who cares? Middle American men won't vote for doctors because they don't want to envision the guy giving the State of the Union address having ever touched -- or, God forbid, probed -- a naked man.
