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 .

(37,540 posts)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.

(135,425 posts)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.

(10,287 posts)that is to stir up dissension on du about Hillary Clinton

(55,894 posts)SwampG8r
(10,287 posts)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

(89,239 posts)SwampG8r
(10,287 posts)but lets be honest
without a link backing what you originally posted it was purely your own speculation

(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.

(46,585 posts)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.

(5,213 posts)"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.

(3,991 posts)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.
