i've always favored (short of actually endorsing) dr. dean, mainly because of the enthusiasm he was able to whip up among the grass roots.
but geez...one contest, and half the grass roots are giving up already.
what's the deal, kids? it's just the first contest! nobody said it was going to be a cakewalk!
this is national politics, down and dirty, it's a fight, not a high school football game.
get over yourselves.
you came in third. not a bad showing.
now, learn from your mistakes and go on to the rest of the contests.
did you think it was going to be easy? get a clue!
nothing worth winning wasn't worth fighting for.
if you're conceding now, you shouldn't have been in the contest in the first place.
it's a long way to november, kids!
when the going gets tough, the tough gets going!
