Reply #27: It was a politically disasterous comment to make, imo. [View All]

Though that's not a surprise coming from Dean, who causes me to wince every time he makes a public appearance due to his amazing ability to shove his foot in his mouth. Even if you believe we have to pull out immediately from Iraq, and then politically you argue that pulling out immediately is how we "win", otherwise you project a defeatist and pessimistic attitude that doesn't score points with the majority of voters. We've had * on the defensive for months and this did nothing to keep him on the defensive. Instead, we see Ken Mehlman on the offensive making the cable news circuit today to hammer away at Dean who has been put in the party dog house until this boils over, and we worry about his next verbal fuckup.
