I'm just really excited that the final Star Wars movie is coming out. That way, when its gone we never have to hear about that crap again . . . until the 30 year anniversary and the . . .
Please, Lucas, we all loved Star Wars, now let it go.
I guess nobody knows how to go out on top anymore.
I completely agree. Dean was destroyed by the media after his scream, because they really didn't like him. He didn't know how to baby them. My personal opinion is that the quality that his supporters loved the most, his candor, made the journalists work too hard. They were used to covering the same stump-speech at every stop.
Anyway, the scream wasn't really the reason Dean lost. Dean lost because he was running as a long-shot even though he was ahead in the polls and had a huge war chest. A good read on this topic is from Dean's capaign manager, Joe Trippi, called The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. (Which also discusses why the internet will lead to the overflow of everything.) Dean like the other candidates put all of his money into Iowa. They all new that whoever won there was going to be tough to beat. Dean's presence in Iowa consisted primarily of political newbies or were invigorated by his message. Had Dean's approach mixed vigor with experience, he'd likely be are new Commander in Chief.
One thing the scream and its subsequent coverage did do though was prevent any kind of miracle comeback. Despite his ultimate failure, anyone who studied the Democratic transformation through the primary knows that Howard Dean was the ultimate martyr for his party. If it hadn't been for his message, which Kerry essentially adopted, there would have been no contest, and the public displeasure for the war would have remained the ignored fodor of lowly political blogs.
