I think Dean may have tried appealing to the Southern voters just a little bit too early, and I think his "Confederate flag" line was the utterly wrong way to go about it. I think he may be a little too enthusiastic for his own good. He could've just said, "You know, if you look at the problems that people living in the inner city have, and the problems that people living in rural trailer parks have, they're not all that different under this administration," or something similar, it would've gone over a whole lot better. I know that's what he meant, but that's not what got the press.Joe wrote:I don't know; however, Dean's numbers are probably better than Kerry's Southern numbers, which are just abyssmal.
I still don't see the Dems carrying a single southern state this time around, unless they run Edwards, and even that's questionable.
Though let's admit it, if Dean were to be elected president, The Daily Show would have another 4 years of superb material in the form of Dean's facial expressions.
