Marsha, Marsha, Marsha

A New York times article , titled Kerry Says Dean Is 'Imploding,' addresses comments that Kerry has made about Dean when the cameras are running and when they are turned away (Kerry keeps forgetting that his microphone is still on). During a debate in Baltimore a microphone picked up Kerry muttering "Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean." Reading this I was reminded of a Brady Bunch episode where Jan, frustrated over perfect Marsha, starts muttering "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha." To add to Kerry's frustration, his remarks just seem to keep attention focused on Dean. The article sparked the question "Is Dean Imploding" for Village Voice's question of the day.
I've pasted some of the comments below.

The only thing "imploding" are Sen. Kerry's sour grapes. What do we have to show for our current policy towards the Israeli government, aside from more terrorists-in-training? Howard Dean won over this Republican Veteran long ago and cemented and only made my conviction in him stronger with that sagacious statement.

Dean is far from imploding. It's become clear that he's a force with which to be reckoned and the other candidates are grasping for ways to attack him. Dean's not perfect, but he's running the best campaign out there, and he's the only candidate so far to capture the passion and the fury that so many of us feel as we learn more and more about the destructive and deceitful mechanisms of the current administration.

Only in the minds of "Bush Lite" Democrats. He speaks his mind, and that ruffles establishment feathers. He has a large, dedicated, and growing grassroots following that's going to kick the butts of the political pros.

Not in the least bit. Dr. Dean's remarks are accurate. Our taking sides with Israel have only made matters worse. There is no sight of resolution to be seen on the horizon, and there will not be one as long as America sides with Israel against Palestine. Neutrality and earnest efforts in peace-making between the two parties on the part of America is greatly desired.
