Are We Beyond the Dean Scream Remix?

January 24, 2004

Don't know if this post by Oliver Willis is true, but I hope so for the sake of the Democratic Campaign.

The first few days of Dean and "the scream" were negative buzz for Howard - but with the complete media saturation of the moment, I think there may be a sense that the media is once again back to their dirty tricks of turning on someone based on nothing (see Gore, Al or Clinton, William J. for past instances). I think we like our presidents with some sort of crack in their armor, because it makes them human. I may see differently, but a lot of people like Bush because he doesn't "talk fancy". We know people liked the way Bill Clinton was a "good ole boy", and even Gore's social awkwardness made "the robot" a bit more human.

I think people may have written off Dr. Dean too soon."
