HOward Dean is Supporting Hillary Clinton for President

[JI7]

it was thought his Iowa and NH travels were because he is considering a run again. but i think it is more to try to get support for her and other Democrats. i think he is going to be working on GOTV for the 2014 elections.

some people may be shocked but i'm not . and i have no problem with it.

i think Dean could end up as Sec of Health and HUman Services under a very likely Hillary Clinton Presidency .

1. Maybe we can finally get a team that can make Single Payer healthcare a reality.

I think Hillary would like nothing better than to revisit "Hillarycare" and Dr. Dean would be the perfect person to organize and lobby for it. If Republicans hate Obamacare, Hillarycare will send 'em over the edge.

2. Bless Old Howard and his fifty state strategy!

Of course, this means one of my favorite former governors will be thrown under the bus by some of the HRC haters and self styled ideological purists around here, but that will say more about them than him.

3. makes me glad

that I quit making monthly donations to DFA a long time ago

IF it is true, that is.

[KittyWampus]

4. It's refreshing to see two adults who may not agree on all issues and strategies getting along

and willing to work together.

[SwampG8r]

5. no links to any statements from dean?

then this is likely flamebait bullshit

[quinnox]

6. yea, I woud like to see a news story link or official statement

from Dean, otherwise this sounds like it could just be baseless speculation.

[SwampG8r]

7. not baseless it has a solid intention

that is to stir up dissension on du about Hillary Clinton
its only purpose is to cause trouble and hard feelings

[KittyWampus]

11. Actually, Dean is quoted as saying just that. But nevermind that. It's more fun to fling shit at a

DU'er than it is to check links or do a quick google.

[SwampG8r]

25. no link when i responded

you probably tossed a turd on the timestamp and didn't recognize that
and I didn't make an assertion the op did so he is supposed to do the googleing not me

[JI7]

9. i added a link, but even without a link it is clearly not flamebait

a Democrat supporting a Democrat is flamebait ?

[KittyWampus]

12. It's as if some people really just thrive on outrage, contention and divisiveness.

[SwampG8r]

14. without the link

it is purely your own speculation and putting Hillary and howard together considering the differences in style is certainly going to start fires here
that's just the reality of du

[JI7]

16. they are both Democrats

[SwampG8r]

19. yes they both are

but lets be honest
without a link backing what you originally posted it was purely your own speculation
and any time Hillary is trotted out here a flamefest ensues
add howard dean and we are going 4 alarm

[KittyWampus]

10. If you went to the link you'd find his quote- "At this point, I'm supporting Hillary Clinton".

How hard is it to click a link?

(CNN) – Howard Dean's presidential hopes may not be as high as his trips to Iowa and New Hampshire suggest, based on the candidate he currently supports for 2016.

"At this point, I'm supporting Hillary Clinton," the former governor of Vermont told The Des Moines Register Wednesday in an interview in Idaho.

The former Democratic National Committee chairman and 2004 presidential hopeful declined to say whether or not he will be running come 2016.

[JI7]

13. to be fair i did add the link later so they may not have seen it

but still silly to claim such a thread is flamebait.

[SwampG8r]

17. post a map to the link for me please

since it wasn't there when I first responded
I know you are good with maps to stuff that isn't there

[JI7]

18. and you are complaining about flamebait ?

[SwampG8r]

20. a request for help and a statement of fact

[KittyWampus]

23. yeah, the "map" reference wasn't flamebait or an attempt to goad me. Here's a map for you

from my journal since you and a few others are so obsessed with maps:

[JI7]

26. more like flamebait

you try to say my OP was flamebait but what you posted wasn't ?

come on now....................

[SwampG8r]

30. you mean what i posted to the rude person

who keeps jumping into our conversation?

[KittyWampus]

21. instead of a map I'll post a link for you… the one I use to check "questionable" stories

www.google.com

[markiv]

8. Hillary laughs off millions of jobs lost to NAFTA

[winter is coming]

15. And I would care because...? n/t

[bunnies]

22. but "declined to say whether or not he will be running come 2016."

[AtomicKitten]

24. "... at this point"

I hope Howard is considering a run in 2016.

I'm really hoping Al Gore is considering another run. He has the gravitas to make it happen. That would make me one happy camper.

[LondonReign2]

27. What odd wording

"at this point"? Seems weird to say it that way, like he has one foot out the door. Then refusing to say whether or not he is running in 2016.

But whatever. I loves me some Howard for his 50 state strategy.

[geek tragedy]

28. Meh, Howard Dean is a de facto lobbyist these days, so of course he's supporting Hilllary nt

[napoleon_in_rags]

29. Ay, its 2013 guys, c'mon.

I hope Hillary gives it a shot if she thinks she's the best leader for this country. But its 2013. At this rate, Hillary for prez enthusiasm will be that stale thing you forgot about in the back of your refrigerator by 2016, people will be sick of hearing about it by early 2015.
