Do you think there is any possibility that Dean will run as a third-party candidate?

No, Dean would be committing career suicide if he did that. As it stands now, he can still go back to Vermont and run for the senate when either Jeffords or Leahy retire. He could also be in line for an administration post like Surgeon General if joins the "team".

On the other hand, Dean has acted a bit crazy at times, so maybe I am foolish to expect him to behave rationally...
