i guess it was the perfect time to quit if he still wants edwards to get a chance, while dean himself knew he'd not win anymore. i could imagine most of dean voters will switch to edwards now during the next elections.

Shark, have to disagree on the media thing: Dean did whatever he did to himself. He really freaked people out. The media was just the messenger. I thought the media was generally positive toward Dean until he wigged.Read what Chris wrote above: that was the general response - it was the people who told the media that they didn't want the guy.

Just goes to show what months of relentless bashing by the media can do to someone. Kinda sickening, really. Screw the Dems and the Repubs; I'm tending toward a Monarchy at this point.

Yeah, he was kind of a walking zombie there after a while, refusing to smell the coffee. It's a shame all that money essentially went to waste. I mean I liked his Joe Cocker impression and all, I just didn't want to see him as President after that.

Yeah, but he loses points for blowing through $40M that could have gone to an electable candidate.

I think Dean deserves points for digging up more people for the Dems and getting a lot of free media on issues that should have surfaced much sooner, but I also think he should have dropped out sooner. Without Dean in it, Edwards might have won in Wisconsin and we'd have gotten a real race going. As it stands, too many sheep are going to go with Kerry whether they're entirely on board with what he stands for or not. That could change if the debate on the 26th is only between Kerry and Dean. That's still up in the air, but I'm hoping we get to see a real fight. And no, I don't have a horse in this race - I'm one of the ABB crowd.

Thanks Hal, I believe he was done when he came UNdone - the rest was just death throes.
