The Soft Bigotry Of Low Expectations

January 23, 2004

Ryan Overbey on Howard Dean: “He may well pull a Bush: now he's being treated with the soft bigotry of low expectations, and a 2nd place finish in New Hampshire would suddenly be a sign of "momentum" or "recovery". One thing we know: nobody wants a static story. Big swings are good for ratings. Horseraces keep people interested. Journalists may well be emphasizing how in the dumps the Dean folks are now, but you may see the pendulum swing back just as quickly.”

To answer your questions, yes, the only weblogs I'm linking to today are Jay's and Ryan's and no, that's not intentional.
