Howard Dean: "I'm not into primarying the President or I would do

[Cleita]

it myself," says Howard Dean on Cenk Uygur's program. That is a loaded statement. Does it mean he's thinking of running in 2016?

OH PLEASE GOD MAKE IT HAPPEN!

1. Like! nt

2. Do you think the media would dredge up his "Eee-haw" moment?

And is so, would it kill his chances like it did last time?

[Cleita]

3. You can be sure they will, but now it's been proven to

have been a sound problem that the media edited to make it sound even worse. I think he can overcome it. I also think we, who supported Dean, will be even more out in force than we were back then.

4. I hope not, since I still I'd feel clueless again in not seeing what the big deal was with it. n/t

13. I still don't know what the big deal is about it

to figure out what to do. he didn't have time then.

10. Dean 2016? Seriously?

Sounds good to me! :thumbsup:

[Jim Lane]

11. He'll be 67 then (turning 68 a couple weeks after the election)

I mention this because I'm sure I'm not the only one who wondered.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. I'll bet he's at least considering it...I hope.

14. many people....

....for many reasons are unhappy with Obama....many people dislike and don't trust Republicans anymore....if there ever was a year for the 'unexpected' candidate to win, 2012 is it!

....the Good Doctor wouldn't necessarily be 'primarying' the President, he would simply be offering a full-bodied Democratic choice in a Democratic primary....Obama has staked-out the center-right and Dean could be provide a center-left alternative....in a poor, war-weary America, a responsible anti-war candidate would be more than welcome by the average American....

....so Doc, you wouldn't be 'primarying' Obama, you would be continuing on where you left off; you could campaign the entire primary season and never have to mention Obama by name....if you won, you'd become President....if you lost, you would push the conversation to the Left....

....spending next year listening to the Prez out puke the pukes, doesn't sound too interesting....
