Dean Reminiscent Of The Goring Of Elected President
Gore In 2000 Election
Sez:
"The former Vermont governor remains the front-runner among
Democratic voters, but he's gotten increasingly caustic
treatment from the media, which has dwelled on three big
themes -- that Dean's angry, gaffe-prone and probably not
electable -- while giving comparatively far less ink to the
doctor's policy and political prescriptions that have catapulted
him ahead of the Democratic field...
Suddenly, as with Gore in 2000, it seems Dean is battling not
only his Democratic opponents and Republican Party officials,
he's also wrestling members of the media's chattering class who
view him with growing unease and even contempt....
Watching the striking similarities between the way the D.C.
press is covering Dean and how it treated Gore, and contrasting
it with the way it has treated President Bush, it's becoming
harder to avoid the obvious conclusion: that Democratic
presidential front-runners and nominees are held to a higher,
tougher standard by the Washington press corps....
Today, the parallels between the Dean and Gore press coverage
are impossible to miss. There's the charge Dean is constantly
trying to "reinvent" himself, which Gore was accused of in 2000.
That Dean is "angry"; Gore was tagged a "savage campaigner"
during the primaries. There's the often nit-picking obsession
with the "gaffes" that supposedly bedevil Dean; for Gore the
problem was "exaggerations"
