Faded Deans?
John Kerry, long left for dead, has risen again. Watch as the Vampire (see Verbal Jazz Glossary) surges ahead in the polls and garners endorsements from both the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald. The Anointed, on the other hand is being forced to regret a war whoop delivered during an impassioned speech after a crushing third place finish in the Iowa Caucus. Now New Hampshire is critical to all of the Democratic candidates left standing: Richard Gephardt, citing a general inability to spell his own name, and a bizarre feeling that one should no longer accept the nickname "Dick," has gracefully stepped out).
Verbal Jazz wonders if this primary season isn't a bit skewed with relatively small states skewing the race for the rest of the country, especially with so much punditry wasted on the Deanian War Whoop. It seems as though the media have descended on that speech, which looked almost tongue-in-cheek and designed to appeal to the crowd. Perhaps Dean should consider a new career as a rock star: The Deaniacs would always request the Iowa speech, but in a pique of artistic fury Dean will refuse to repeat it. Ever.
The primary is a winnowing process anyway. Gephardt, Mosely Braun, and (see how far back the Verbal Jazz memory goes) Bob Graham have already asserted that they have no chance. While Verbal Jazz is not so convinced by the Dean candidacy, it seems that the War Whoop is one of those things that Dean Detractors can point to as proof he is too high strung to be president. Remind anyone of what happened to McCain in 2000? Anything he said, could and would be used to prove he is "angry."
