If Edwards wants Howard's support? |
|
Why doesn't he just offer him a slot. Hell, Health and Human Services might get it done. I don't get it.

2. How do we know he hasn't? |
|
Edwards now mentions Dean in almost every stump speech. These kinds of things just aren't announced, as a general rule, and Dean may not want to commit to something like that and kill his chances of serving a role in Kerry's administration, or Kucinich's, or kill a surprise upsurge in support for Dean in states that haven't voted yet.

3. Why would Dean join on another IWR ticket? |

Always has been. There is no other viable choice.

5. Well, my preference at least.... |

I wish he would not join another "ticket".
He's too good for any of them.
But, that's just my opinion.
edit: Molly...
Carpenters Union Hall tonight.
19:00-21:00
You're going right?

Because it beats a Skull & Bones/PNAC/Waffle ticket? |
|
Just my unholy gut feeling....

11. That's the ticket (not the truth, but the ticket)... |
|
that's the exact "rationalization" that will be coming from the echo chamber if that pipe dream comes through

8. No offense, Dean would make an aweful Vice President... |
|
He has way too many of his own ideas to sit around and rubber stamp somebody else's ideas.

9. I agree. The sum of both is greater than the parts. |
|
These two need to work out a visable deal in order to increase the power of both and carry the message thru to a win in Novemeber.
Dean would reinforce Edwards' anti-establishment credentials. They need to do something visable - although I'm not sure that vp is the best choice for Dean (especially since Edwards needs foreign policy credentials in that slot, IMO). Agree with the HHS idea - is that enough for Dean?
Don't see Dean getting much from Kerry come Novemeber - and Dean needs to give support to Edwards now, not later.

Makes some sense. Sec of HHS isn't exactly that glorious or prestigious a post as far as appointments go.
Or maybe amassador to Rwanda, we all know how important Dean thinks that is
