Well, it's official. Blog and convential wisdom has decided that Dean suffered a near mortal wound in Iowa.
And then treated that wound with a fatal speech, turning him into walking dead, doomed to wander New Hampshire and Mini-Tuesday until the truth of his fate sinks in.
Pretty much exactly what blogger and convential wisdom held of Kerry.
Is the CW right? Are the bloggers right? Maybe, maybe not. Can Dean recover? Maybe, maybe not.
But I think that Dean isn't the only one with lessons to learn about Iowa.
One of the first being: "Don't call a candidate dead until he's withdrawn from the race. Unless it's Lieberman."
And even the dead candidates are useful.
