I stand with Dr. Dean, and if Obama does indeed...

[Hawkeye-X]

Decline to run for re-election in 2012, I will push for Dr. Dean to run for President again. This time - I will not budge from my choice and ask that the other challengers to give up the bid and support Dr. Dean's candidancy and that he pledge not to allow one person from the DLC or the Third Way Democrats to be installed in his cabinet.

Dr. Dean has been correct for many, many years and he has earned the right to be called a true Democrat. I encourage all to pledge to do the same.

He will, indeed, heal what ails America right now. Hell, he should be on his 2nd term if it wasn't for the DLC sheningans in '04.

1. well . . . correct except for his 48-state strategy

blew that one

3. Dean's 50 state strategy resulted in big gains in '06 and laid the groundwork for

organizing in '08. You must be reading too many of Rahm's misinformed talking points.

5. a 50-state strategy in name only

no - don'w need Rahm's talking points, I was a "voter" in the other-two.

2. I'd much rather have Dean, too

MUCH rather!

I can't imagine Obama bowing out in 2012, though.

Don't think he's that kind of critter.

4. If Obama wasn't going to run in 2012 he wouldn't be posturing himself as a raging moderate now.

We can talk 2016 if you want but I am fairly certain our nominee for 2012 will be the incumbent president.

6. Im not sure what to think about Dean anymore...

The lying got under my skin:

7. Dr Dean --yay. 50 state strategy in the long run would bring the

half the country who do not vote back into the fold, making
them dependable Democratic voters.
