Dean's Roar

I was watching live when Howard Dean made his "concession speech" in Iowa. I was a bit turned off by it. I wasn't sure if that's how he sounds when he shouts, or if his voice was just hoarse from talking too much the previous couple of days (turns out he had a cold). The listing of the states was dumb, too.

But I've gotta say, there's been a huge overreaction. I found the presentation of that speech slightly unappealing, but I really have no comprehension of people who have stopped supporting him as a result of it. What should be important to people is what someone has to say, and not (within reasonable limits) how they say it. Enthusiastic yelling shouldn't lose millions of votes.
