January 30, 2004Me Too On DailyKosI was also at DailyKos, last night. I can't believe just how much time I spent reading most of the DailyKos comments re Trippi's departure . Interestingly, the biggest reason for Dean's problems - severe lack of message control - did come up once, but only as the middle of a five-point list in one post out of several hundred. The more general topic of his message - Dean's mistakes - went nowhere. I mean, you tell me, is Dean for or against globalization?
Reading the thread made it occur to me that there's probably another
aspect to the Great Dean Policy Veer. If you were one of the leaders
of the medieval Crusades, and you happened to not actually believe in
God, when talking to your troops, would you bring up your lack of
faith? In fact, if you were a basically nice and kind king of guy,
wouldn't you start to feel guilty about your lack of faith and maybe
even go looking for some? Certainly, the Kosites and many other Dean
supporters have great faith that globalization is out-and-out evil.
That's yet another aspect of the primary environment that seems to
have surprised Dean for ill....
