Howard Dean has abandoned his campaign for the presidency. To my mind, it is about time. Though I think he had the best chance to bludgeon Shrub in the general election, it is more than clear that Democratic voters have chosen, yet again, to play it safe. Dean's message is closer to what Democrats have expressed as their position on various issues, but the media hatchet job done on Dean has frightened a lot of voters. The endless blather about "electability" has also clouded the debate, because, as anyone with half a brain knows, "electability" is a code word for centrist vanilla candidate. Ask yourself this: in 1998, while he was still governor of Texas, did anyone think a brainless monkey like Shrub could possibly be "electable?"

Right.

Farewell, Dr. Dean, you were fun while you lasted. The machine has got the better of you, I just hope you intend to keep biting the asses of those Republican Lite posers at the DNC & DLC.

Cows don't get mad, they just get even.

Seems the one that caused such consternation in December wasn't a downer.

Yikes!
