Proof that Dean got the shaft...
First it was the scream speech....where media outlets have admitted they overplayed it and some indicate that the way the speech audio and video was done (and shown) greatly mischaracterized the speech.
Now it's the sealing of Dean's gubernatiorial papers. The sealing of some of Dean's papers for 10 years was a major issue for his campaign. The New York Times reports that a record keeping error vastly inflated the number of boxes of material that Dean had sealed. In fact it turns out that he sealed less of his papers than his predecessors.
This is one of the reasons it really irritates me the way that the primaries are handled. Dean had other problems (like the handling of finances) to be sure. But if the primaries were handled better and the media was more careful with these sorts of stories, the Democrats might have a better candidate: Howard Dean.
