Dean as an Independent

[Mr. Fresh]

Imagine a race with Bush, Dean, Nader and say Clark.  Whoa boy.

The Democratic Party would be a mess.

[Mr. Fresh]

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!

If there is that many popular liberals running, we might be so lucky to see a 50.

[Mr. Fresh]

Yessss...but Dean WON'T run as an independent if he fails to get the nomination and Nader is a spent force...

Wishful thinking is all.
