There's a positive side to being labeled as the "Angry" Candidate for Dean, especially when he gets write ups such as this.

Washington - The most remarkable aspect of the Democratic presidential contenders' debate in Johnston, Iowa, on Sunday was how much rhetorical kindling Howard Dean's rivals piled up, and how doggedly he kept himself from reaching the combustion point.
What we have here is Dean just being himself during the debate and reporters no longer being able to continue to buy into the CW that so permeates the pundits' thinking. Dean comes away ahead of the game, he beats expectations. Bush did well because he was able to lower the expectations of his abilities and then exceed those patheticly lowered expectations. Dean is already doing this, he's beating the "Angry" meme by being himself and being level. Honestly, if Dean were truly an "Angry" person who went around frothing foam from the mouth there'd be stories of it everywhere, there'd be video footage of Dean throwing chairs at hapless reporters who write up poor stories about him, there'd be plenty of credible incidents which the media could point to to prove their belief that Dean is "Angry." But there aren't and slowly that's becoming apparent to them.
