So John Kerry won the Iowa Caucus and Edwards a surprising 2nd. Dean finished a poor 3rd.<br /><br />Dean came off his hinges in his speech to his supporters. He became so red faced I though he was going to pass out! I haven't heard a single pundit even try to put a positive spin on that performance. Harkin and the older former congressman looked shocked as they stood behind him.<br /><br />So, looks like anything Gore touches turns to s..t - talk about the kiss of death!<br /><br />Imagine winning because you look like the only sane people in the race? I mean Kerry was written off and even had to mortgage his house to keep running. People didn't come over to him at the end because they liked him...

yelling at potential voters prob. wasn't smart<br />Mr. Dean... If I HAD to vote for one of these 3,<br />I would also pick Kerry.

Re: Iowa Caucus Upset

I felt Dean's "I am angry" was a little over the top. Overplayed and transparent. Or, he had a little too much pre-show punch.<br /><br />Eitherway, he made a fool of himself and scared off potential voters. :D

Iowa doesn't have a very good record for picking winners though. The last caucus winner that ended up getting the nomination was Jimmy Carter. Edwards was a big suprise, just as Gephardt not doing well. Glad to see Dean is showing his colors. He should really blow a gasket after Wes Clark wins up here in NH. Gotta agree with Ralph, everything Gore touches...

Iowa mostly just eliminates people as opposed to picking the winners. Geppy gone, Dean on the ropes.... stay tuned<br /><br />Kerry and Clark have hidden landmines. O'reilly says he is holding back on the Clark one and I don't know what it is. I do know about Kerry's and we'll have to see how Americans feel about it when it comes out. That is all I can say.

Did Iowa do in Carol Mosley Braun? She seemed like a good representative for the democrat's.<br /><br />Why is it so easy to call GW stupid when the pool is full of prize winners like Carol, Al Sharpton, and Al Gore. I guess Mr. Deans "passion" was misunderstood. :p

All I can say is that he makes veiled threats against people using it all the time - think about his ambiguous warnings and ask your self what he could be talking about<br /><br />POINTER94 - she backed out and endorsed Dean

I dunno.. Bush keeps fooling around, he just might end up being another single term Bush.. <br /><br />Hopefully this will put Kerry in the drivers seat for good... At least then, I'd have someone to vote for..<br /><br />As for Dean, he's a total wingnut! I would'nt vote for that idiot for dog catcher...

Re: Iowa Caucus Upset

Much like the 3 stooges, this stuff is good comedy. To get to see these politicians re-invent themselves every few days trying to squeeze a few more votes, it is laughable. One of the best ones I've heard so far was Kerry was in a deli in Philly. He orders Philly cheese steak...with provolone cheese. The Deli manager about fell over backwards!

Oh that's too funny! :D <br /><br />But if you notice, the red page that starts the book is in the same place in all 3 books. So, maybe the jacket is just on upside down. :D <br /><br />Just like liberals - always jumping to conclusions ;)
