I would say there is a 25% chance the Dummies will run another McGovern. This is because of the overwrought emotions that are held by the far left, who still control the party. The McGovernites sponsored take over of the party apparatus after the 1968 Chicago festival and subsequent defeat of Humphrey by Nixon.
Not Dean. He has already made his deal with the devil.
Dean is nothing more than a vehicle for Clinton to look moderate. He was given the DNC job as a ploy.
He has two duties:
1. to make sure he articulates a very left of center point of view.
2. to spend as much money on state and local elections as possible and drain funds from the DNC, so that no one will have the funds to challenge Clinton.
My guess is that he has been promised some cabinet position if Clinton wins.
