Dean, walking tightrope, nears opposite platform, gets pushed by a huge gust of wind, while at the same time freezes up, starts lurching one way, starts lurching another way...wow, once you start losing your balance, it's so hard to stop falling...
Who's idea was it not to contest ANYWHERE on 2/3? Are they out of money? No more is coming in this way...
I'm not sure what how the psychology of this works, but why is it that Dean is so much more of a loser today when the results are nearly exactly what we predicted yesterday? Dean performed at expectations. He picked up a few delegates. Would I have preferred that he sat in NM this week to at least make a token sign of campaigning? Sure...
Something weird is going on up there in Burlington...good surprise? bad surprise? no surprise?
On the other hand, psychology is funny. We can all turn on a dime. If Dean were to win a couple of primaries (I don't know how, but just say he did) things would once again be different.
