I just had this thought after reading your post. Perhaps Dean is sticking his foot in his mouth intentionally. However, he still wins the dims nomination. then they discover that he will not win so Hillary jumps in to save the day. Can she run if even if she doesn't win or even run in the primary? Just a thought, a scary thought.

Primaries, sort of like presidential elections are essentially meaningless, it is the delegates at the convention who choose the nominee. They are pledged to a candidate, but if there is an overall sense of unity, most candidates will not force their delegates to vote for them at the convention because they will usually drop out officially. Also in DNC primaries, after 1972 I believe, they created so called "super delegates" that IIRC make up about 30% of all the delegates and they are congressman and senators and other officals from within the party and establishment. This was meant as a precaution against an embarrassing defeat of the McGovern type nature.

If no one person becomes the clear winner of the primaries, there is nothing stopping them from choosing Hillary.

I wish Hillary would jump in this race. She has no more chance of winning the nomination than anyone. her problem is that she has yet to answer for her crimes while she called 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. her home. That with has yet to face a serious interview, and if she runs for POTUS she will have too.

That pig might be liked by the same base of the democrat party that adores Howard Dean, But Hillary's problem is the vote she will attract to defeat her. I believe if she runs, the multitudes who rarely Vote will show up in record numbers to defeat her. No their politician in my lifetime is more divisive than Hillary Clinton and I hope her Carpet Bagging fat ass will be sent back to Arkansas and we will be shed of her once and for all
