If Dean left the DNC, would you support his nomination for PREZ in 2008?

[Guaranteed]

This ain't gonna happen- Dean is really in an unassailable position, here. Carville's biting on granite.

But, let's say Dean just got sick of the garbage, quit, and took another run at it. Would you support his nomination for 2008?

[Stand and Fight]

1. Yes, but not a "Hell Yes." n/t

[VelmaD]

2. I have the same answer I had in 2004

I would not support him in the primary as long as there was a candidate who was further to the left in the race. But if he won the nomination I would work my butt off to get him elected. Same for any Dem.

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. Not only would I support it...I'd be back banging on doors all day

long for him again. To have that kind of hope again...

[LSK]

4. Yes, but if Gore is running it will be a tough choice

[Guaranteed]

5. I hear ya.

I don't think they'd both run at the same time.

[helderheid]

7. I'd really like to re-elect Gore myself!

[PassingFair]

16. How about a Dean/Gore or Gore/Dean ticket?

Dreamy!

[Guaranteed]

17. That makes me drool. nt

[wryter2000]

21. Oooh, yeah. Also drooling n/t

n/t

[mentalsolstice]

25. I don't think so

I might be wrong, but I don't think Gore would take anything other than top billing...and rightfully so...I can see H. Clinton accepting the VP before Gore would (she may realize she's unelectable, but still want to set a historic precedent for women)...I think for Gore to be in the race, it will have to be all or nothing. Unless the POTUS assured Gore that he could go all out, no questions asked, on environmental issues.

[PassingFair]

28. Wouldn't matter to me WHO was on the top of the ticket.

WHAT a TEAM!

[Guaranteed]

29. I'd expect it to be Gore, but, no, I really wouldn't mind if it was

the other way either.

[helderheid]

6. haven't voted yet because I cannot stand the thought of him leaving the DNC chair position!

[MethuenProgressive]

8. Of course not! He can't win!

Just because he's good at leading Dems doesn't mean Republicans and Independants will vote for. (And if you know the math, you know just Dems alone aren't enough to win a Presidential election.)

[ixion]

14. he can win. I'm an independent and I support him

and I know others who do as well. Dean had a grassroots, populist campaign that was drowned in the bathtub by the M$M. He spoke the truth, and I think he'd appeal to alot of people if the DLC'ers would stop the smear campaign.

[Guaranteed]

15. Nobody ever got anywhere doubting Dean's abilities. nt

[MethuenProgressive]

18. Not even his backers when he ran for POTUS?

they didn't doubt, did they?

[Guaranteed]

19. No, we didn't- and I'm feeling pretty damned good today.

:)

Course, I can't speak for the rest of them....

[MethuenProgressive]

20. He's doing GREAT in the job he's got! :D

doesn't mean he'll do great in *any* job, though!

[Phredicles]

9. Gore's still my first choice but I do like Dean.

[AnnInLa]

10. I would vote him King of the Universe, but

if he made a run at it again, I would just have to put my support and $$ where it would be most practical to do so. Unfortunately, I think Dean is unelectable....in this century.

[prairie populist]

11. Isn't gonna happen

[Warpy]

12. You bet your ass I would

but the DLC would sabotage his run in the primaries just like they did in 2004. If they can't get anything new, they'll send another copy of that cherrypicked "scream" video out to the mass media.

[rpannier]

13. Depends on who else is running

But, if he leaves the DNC I won't send them a dime.

[wryter2000]

22. You might want to tell them that

E-mail form a bit down on the page.

[Mr_Spock]

23. He's still too short

:rofl:

[Swamp Rat]

24. But Carville says Dean is incompetent like Rumsferatu.

:eyes:

[Kahuna]

26. I give it a maybe. That's a lot coming from me.

:kick:

[mentalsolstice]

27. Only if he were the nominee AFTER the primaries

Politically, I really love the guy. But I don't know if he's electable, or if he's suitable for the WH. However, I feel he's got a lot of talent, and he'll put his mark on history elsewhere for sure. I'd love to see him sink his teeth into universal health care.

[mandyky]

30. Hell yes, and furthermore...

Howard Dean has my support in anything he does. He is a common sense politician. (a rare bird)

[Guaranteed]

31. Me too. He's pretty well proved himself at this point.

He's very consistent.
