It was also immediately apparent in the debate, that Dean's
"yeearghh" episode woke up not only Dean, but all of the
candidates. They were acting considerably more sober and serious, even
Sharpton, than they have in the past. Sort of a, "holy moly, Dean is
losing it and we haven't been all that different in our sniping to date, we
best get our collective acts together and start trying to act
presidential" mood. At least that's how it appeared to me.
