There's been a lot written here and in the press about "the scream" being Dean's pivotal moment of failure or whatever. Let's try to back up and have a bit of perspective on this. Winners get to rewrite history, losers don't. If Clinton had failed to recover from Gennifer Flowers, what would we call him? A southern Gary Hart? If W had failed to get himself into the White House after innumerable gaffes and the press story line that he was stupid, what would we call him? An incompetent shadow of his father? If Dukakis had managed to get past Willie Horton and the tank, would anybody remember these things except as interesting moments of adversity that he had to overcome on the way to the White House? Winners get to set the story line. If you buy the story line before the outcome, well, get ready for more surprises because something, if not a Dean resurrection then something else, will yet surprise us at the end of all of this and yet when we look back, we'll say we knew it all along...
