Aftermath

The Deaniacs are starting to look like amateurs:

Joe Trippi is blaming his poor showing on the media, that's apparently conspiring against his campaign. Well, Joe, maybe if you realized that the media is your major outlet to the voters, you wouldn't treat them like nitwits. Republicans are now publicly stating that they want to face Howard Dean in a general election. Continuing to alienate swing voters, rather than curry favor to them, isn't going to get you any friends.

Dr. Dean: if your long term goal is to become president of the United States, you can still achieve this goal ... by immediately calling Terry McAullife, making peace with the centrist wing of the Democratic party, and running as Vice President. You still have a huge army of supporters and a lot of money. It would be a shame for all of those resources to disappear and to alienate the greeny social liberals in the party by running a Clark-Edwards ticket that doesn't have a record on the environment besides platform, and is pretty centrist on social issues. You don't have to talk about God anymore, because you'll only be appearing in lefty leaning, mostly atheist swing states like Washington, Oregon, New Mexico, and Colorado, maybe with the occasional stop in the industrial midwest. You'll get eight years to learn what it's like to be in Washington, and an issue to promote as VP that you can run on in 2012. Is this really the worst thing that could happen?

Also, drink up.
