Prediction on how the Media will spin the Cal. Recall

We will be continuously told how the results of the recall proves that Dean, the only true political outsider, is the only hope the Democrats have to defeat Bush in 2004.

Once Dean becomes the nominee, there will be ad after ad showing Dean to be a gasp - �typical politician� who is anything but a political outsider (the press of course will act outraged that they were fooled by Dean). Bush wins in a landslide.

1. Sour Grapes!

Dean said it best!

"Today's recall election in California was not about Gray Davis or Arnold Schwarzenegger. This recall was about the frustration so many people are feeling about the way things are going. All across America, George Bush's massive tax cuts for the wealthy are undermining state budgets, causing cutbacks in services and increases in local property taxes. Were recalls held in every state, it's quite possible that 50 governors would find themselves paying the price for one president's ruinous national economic policies. Tonight the voters in California directed their frustration with the country's direction on their incumbent governor. Come next November, that anger might be directed at a different incumbent...in the White House."

2. Gotta admire that campaign

of Dean's. They do two things extremely well:

1. They are quick on the trigger, getting Dean's position out very quickly, and

2. They put a very, very nice spin on this thing.

This is not an endorsement of the candidate, but an observation of a very good campaign organization.
