'Tongue Is Faster Than His Brain'

If Dean is the candidate crowds come to hear, he has also become the one pundits have come to watch, for better or worse. They won't soon forget his dour sparring with Sen. John F. Kerry (Mass.) during the Democratic candidates' first debate in South Carolina in May, or his shaky appearance on NBC's "Meet The Press" two Sundays ago. And that mouth. A product of New York, Dean can speak so fast that words come tumbling out, landing in a messy heap.

Bring 'em on! <G>

Just imagine Dean sweeping the primaries. What do you think the Congress will do then? Do you think the GOP will love having a Congress with some cojones? Repubs are starting to find their voice and object to a few of the idiocies, here and there.

Regardless of anything else, the greater Dean's popularity the more spine Congress will discover they have. Every day that Dean's popularity increases, I hear media and political change for the better, as scared pundits start to peer out from under their rocks and timidly ask a few questions.

The books on the NYT booklist wouldn't be there w/o the leadership of people like Dean, making it ok to criticize the fascist juggernaut in Washington, who up to now has kept the lid on. The lid is being blown off.

I'd love to see GOP helping Dean. I don't see it. The contributions have been an average of $70 from hundreds of thousands of supporters. It's a grassroots, not machine campaign.
