Dean | Dean campaign "jumped the shark"

Political pundits on Fox Live this morning were sounding the death knell for the Dean campaign after replacing Joe Trippi last night. One reporter mentioned a comment on the Dean Weblog that the campaign had “jumped the shark.” Two internet references in one story.

The pundit spin on the Dean campaign continues to drive reality, which dovetails nicely with this post by Jay Rosen of NYU.

There is something almost nauseating about this cycle, when journalists can both predict the next turn in it and go on to excute that turn.

I’m finding it terribly amusing that Dean is experiencing his own Dotcom implosion.

For weeks there were articles in the NY Times Magazine, The New Yorker, the cover of Time, 25 million raised online - ten times that of some of his competitors….

Now, he’s lost Iowa and New Hampshire, and he’s asking employees to defer salary….sounds very familiar, doesn’t it?

He may as well call himself Flooz
