I'm watching to see who the Republicans offer up to sacrifice.... Who and what will be destroyed along the campaign trail by advocates and media. The media can crucify anyone...it's so easy. Howard Dean showed a bit of enthusiasm and they crucified him every day, all channels, doomed his chances....and I'm not a Dean fan, but that was such a job they did on him. Allen got the same treatment.... One arrogant flip remark using a term I never even heard before, and he claims he didn't even know what it meant, and the media started reminding everyone everyday, that his campaign was doomed, he was a racist, then his mother was a jew, geez....over and over every day, even on Fox News. It was a disgusting display.

The media decides who they pillory, and they pick the candidates we get to choose from on election day. Watch and see.
You're right.

But in all fairness, Howard Dean pretty much self-destructed. And since then, he's proven himself to be nothing short of a total ass.

I think maybe - just maybe - his "true self" slipped out a little too clearly in that "yeeehaaaaaaawwwwwwwww" gaff. I don't know, but I suspect that.
