Hate to think something so trivial is the most memorable event of the campaign. That’s the press for ya’.
Wonder what would’ve happened if Dukakis won and the whole Bush clan had retreated to Maine and Texas...
The press tried to play off the Howie Dean Scream as “the thing” that killed his campaign. It was his far left political rhetoric.
Obama kept it in the bag and just used vague words like “hope”, “change”, and “historic”.
Up to the moment of Dean’s scream he was called “the leading candidate” based mostly on ballot stuffed online “polls”.
