Dems are ina dilemia. Do they risk Dean's bolt fromt eh party or do they stop him.
The dems have 5-6 centrist candidates and that is there problem as they are splitting there support while Dean is essentially the only real liberal ( that is a contender).
Dean would get more than 5% I would think as a 3rd party and may even finish 2d Ie Teddy Roosevelt. i didn't think this was too realistic when George Will wrote about it a week ago, but now with Dean threatening it, it looks like blackmail.
Imagine a race with Bush, Dean, Nader and say Clark. Whoa boy.
I forgot about Nader. Dean, Nader, Clark. Man. What a pisser that would be - for the Democrats, anywoo.
I'd like to see a 49-state landslide. I was born in '83, so of course I missed Reagan's '84 landslide.
Since there are some similarities between 1972 (Nixon v. McGovern) and 2004, this could be my best chance to see such a landslide.
Cross your fingers for California!
