Comments on: Laughing it off http://www.redrag.net/2004/01/24/laughing-it-off/ "The thinking Laborite would as lief be found in bed with a cobra as in a committee room armed with 'arguments' from the Tory press." --- Truth, Perth, 19 June 1915.

The rant and "YEEARRGH!!" (or whatever that sound was) bothered me because it indicated how he behaves under pressure. Let's say you're interviewing a few candidates for a job opening. If someone's really nervous (and interviews are no fun anyway, of course), you wonder if he'll flip out when things get really hectic at the workplace. So if this is how Dean acts when losing a race, I shudder to think of how he'd react upon learning that two hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Center. In any case, the Iowa speech is water under the bridge, and he and his advisors are making the best of the situation going forward. True, Dean’s a human being like everyone else.

I got Kerry with a 100% match rating. Scary. If Kucinich is your man I think you’re going to have to retake the quiz again very soon.
