Will Dean go quietly into the night....

No way Dean would run as an independent. I believe he has already said that he'd support the Dem nominee whoever it is. Plus it is ridiculous, everyone was saying the same thing about McCain in 2000. There was tremendous animosity with Bush but ultimately McCain endorsed Bush and most of his supporters voted for Bush. Dean would do the same if he lost the race for the nomination. There have been lots of bitter battles for the nomination in which the losing candidate ends up supporting the nominee, and I don't see any reason to believe that Dean is any different than any of the others who have lost these races.

He said on Larry King that he will support the Dem nominee if it isn't him.

 Conservatives can be in a echo chamber as much asd liberals are, and yes, there are many conservatives who do little more than parrot what Limbaugh says and what the WSJ editorial pages print. Their conservatism is quite loud, but at the same time, very shallow and often clueless.

   People need to take a few steps back when they try to talk about elections and predictions. In 96, it was clear to most clear thinking conservatives that once Dole got the nomination, it was all over for the GOP. Lamar Alexander may have been able to take on Clinton, but Dole was by in large the worst canidate the GOP had ran since Goldwater, and even Goldwater had more of a core base of support than Dole did.

  Unlike Dole, Dean does have grassroots support, and will galvanise the 35% of the electofrate that hates president Bush, but 35% is far less than 50%.

Since 35% is far less than is needed to win the election,  Who do you think would be able to win the election?

35% can win an election in a 3-man race.  In Idaho in 1912, the winner had 32%, with 4 candidates taking 10% or more.

I disagree with that map.

Florida is not the deep south-most of Florida's residents are originally from another area.  Florida's the south.
West Virginia is the midwest.
Missouri is the midwest.
Alaska is the northwest, Hawaii the southwest.
And I guess the list goes on and on.

How do you post images at this forum?

This guy Mr. Prez is "John," except he is from the left instead of the right.

That's unfair. His grammar is much better and he can communicate!:)

Yes, but he still says "Politicies" and other stupid things.  I don't think John was that bad at spelling, but he exaggerated it to make it funny.
