Just Wondering.........If Howard Dean Ran For President In 2016....... [View All]

..........would you vote for him?

I know he's said that he has no interest in running for President, and that he thinks that should be left up to the younger, "new blood" of the Party. However, the ideas that caused me to fall (heterosexually) in love with him in 2003, I'm starting to hear more and more often now. Which is starting to make me think about what it would be like if he were to actually become President.

Some might say he'd be too old, but he was born in November of 1948, so he'd only be 67. Granted, that's no spring chicken, but there have been older, more dottering people who have run for President. 67 is by no means "too old." And his ideas are just as fresh now as when I "discovered" him 7 years ago.

The Deaniac in me would love to see it happen, and I know that I, for one, would work tirelessly to see him elected if he decided to run again in 2016. However, all I'm hearing are denials and naysaying. So I ask YOU........what do YOU think? If we created a groundswell of support and convinced him to run again, would YOU vote for him and/or do whatever was in your power to see him elected? At this point (and granted, we're talking 6 years down the road here), I'd have to say that I would. Every time I see him appear on a TV show for commentary, I fall in love with the man (heterosexually, of course) all over again. I'd venture to say that he's probably my biggest political influence right now.
