To the Americans on here...
« on: November 08, 2011, 08:32:59 AM »
Can any of you remember the guy who fell down in polls by a mile after he got over-excited on camera and made a strange shout/noise?  I want to mention him in my Politics work but I completely forgot his name and it's bugging me.

Howard Dean?

Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

Yes, Howard Dean.

That speech became known as the "I have a scream" speech. :rofl:

BTW, he didn't slip in the polls after the speech, he slipped before then and had just lost the Iowa primary.

It was intended to be a speech to "rally the troops" and continue fighting on to the next primary election.

It ended up being his swan song.

I always thought he was a nut but what do you expect from someone from Vermont

 I think it would have been fun to have a president who screamed like a banshee!  :green:

Perhaps in New England, but not so much in the rest of the country.

In the US as a whole, the states with the worst reps are probably West Virginia and Oklahoma.
