DEAN MEETS THE PRESS: I missed the "Meet the Press" episode where everyone said Howard Dean had a disastrous appearance. I just read the transcript and, wow, were they right.

A lot of people are also making much of the fact that Dean won MoveOn.org's web primary while Dennis Kucinich came in second. Couldn't you imagine an on-line Republican primary in 1996 where Pat Buchanan came in first and Alan Keyes came in second? In fact, if I remember correctly, there was a straw poll in Virginia where that is essentially what happened. The results of any poll where just ideological activists vote need to be taken with a grain of salt.
