Dean may have a touch of paranoia in his psyche. He tends to blame everyone and everything for his problems, except himself.

He has managed to develop a die hard group of supporters who live out their anger at Bush through him.

Dean has no loyalty to the Democrat establishment and if he believes the establishment (controlled by Clinton/McAuliffe) has orchestrated conditions so that he will lose (we're catching drifts of that now), Dean may just decide to punish them all by running third party. He'd have no trouble whatsoever getting the Green's nomination.

If Dean runs third party, the Clinton/McAuliffe machine remains intact and in control of the Democrats and they will have effectively gotten rid of most of the left wing nuts who are giving the party a bad name. Then they can start building a more centrist coalition via the DLC.

The battle for control of the Democrat Party wages on.

The Clinton presstitutes will start showing Howie the door and begin a whispering campaign about him running third party. Howie has to be gotten out of the Dem Party or he will continue to stir up trouble and dissension in the ranks.

You are right on. That is why Dean was so angry last night. He wasn't mad at the voters, he was mad at the Clinton-McAuliffe machine, and the press that carries their water.

He has been purposefully destroyed and he knows it. His emotional problems just made it easier for them.

If he perseveres, he will be trashed even worse. The Clintons have P.I.'s in every little corner, and sent them after Dean a long time ago. And if nasty little exposee's don't work, then I'm sure a well timed threat or two a la Kathleen Willey will.
