It seems like all Dean has to do is open his mouth and attack the Iraq war, attack Bush, or attack Nader and all the sudden the media picks up the story.
USA Today has picked up Dean call on Democratic voters to reject Nader's presidential candidacy.

As has MSNBC, Newsday, and numerous newspapers and new sources all across the country just by checking google.
The news media seems to react more to what Dean says then any other democrat with exception of Kerry. And, Kerry hasn't been that active of late anyway.
Maybe, he has just been sitting in as the spokesman for the party in the eyes of the media as Kerry has been not that active for over a month.
It really is confusing, because I really expected the media would totally ignore Dean and make him a non-entity after crushing him like a bug.
I am also wondering if Dean is acting as a surrogate for Kerry, or if Dean is just trying to make noise for his new org. and to crush Bush. I mean I have seen Dean more active and getting more media coverage then all other failed primary contenders, including pretty much all the prospective VP contenders combined without including McCain of course.
