The Dean Scream—Howard Dean’s Iowa Caucus Speech: An Oral History

 

Dean was an over-hyped do-nothing liberal fairy tale (ahem just like someone else and our current President)
His candidacy did no more to change American politics than I have changed the face of American politics.
Why the fuck can’t these morons give up that stupid fantasy?
We get it, you believed in him.
Now, it’s your turn to get something, he did nothing and it was an over-hyped loser of a campaign that didn’t make it past the 1st contest. Stop spewing bullshit, go home and get back to what you do best: annoying people by spamming their inboxes with unsolicited emails and daily asks for money.

Yawn.

Yawn.

Source: Iowa and New Hampshire wield too much influence. The US needs a national primary – Quartz

Yawn.

1.) Early primaries/caucuses in smaller, rural states allow candidates with less money in their war chest to get exposure that they would never get in a nation-wide primary. (Think of the ad buys!)

2.) 2008 proved that neight of the first two states unduly influences the election.

3.) the national platforms of both parties re better served by a more drawn out process that allows for less popular or less well funded candidates to remain in the discussion.

Enough already. If the primary system is the worst thing you can come up with about our political system you must be living under a rock.
