Dean returns to New Hampshire, fuels presidential speculation

[garybeck]

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Nearly a decade removed from his last presidential campaign, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean has begun trying to influence the next race for the White House.

The fiery Democrat is visiting key states on the presidential calendar and meeting with former supporters, all while reminding people that Hillary Rodham Clinton likely will face Democratic competition should she seek the presidency in 2016.

Dean says he supports a prospective Clinton bid when asked about his intentions. But he's not ruling out himself as a Clinton challenger either.

"You never say never in this business because you don't know," Dean told The Associated Press on Monday when asked about his presidential ambitions shortly before delivering a speech in Manchester. "I still have plenty of fire. What is it going to be directed at is the question."

1. I'd vote for him.

I'd work for him.

I was one of the original Deaniacs. We got into electoral politics in a huge way, and have never fully been recognized or appreciated for what we did.

3. I would too.

Even though I had disappointments of him when he was governor or the state I live in, I'm thrilled about the prospect of Hillary as the alternative. I'd choose Dean over her, put it that way.

4. Dean

As my choice in 2004 primarys I would support him.
