Yeah.. I don't quite understand why a lot of people here are thinking that the Dean Scream had anything to do with Kerry winning. Of course, this was over 8 years ago, and most of the people here thinking it had something to do with it were probably 6. Senior Mikado is pretty much spot on tough, I always saw it more as Kerry was able to gain momentum by letting Dean and Gephardt fight it out and tear each other down.
I agree with this. Dean was already on the decline. It was also notable, however, as one of the first viral moments in politics. This was around the time that streaming videos online became very accessible to most people and I remember the clip being circulated around a lot over the internet, which magnified the gaffe.
