I could only hope for the 3rd option. But I doubt it.

[cripplecreek]

lets just hope he does. somebody needs to set up a website dedicated to drafting him for a 3rd party.

[Callahan]

A fella can dream....

[AmishDude]

Ditto. He won't. But if Dean doesn't get the nomination, Nader might run as an independent (he has announced he's not going Green for sure, but hasn't ruled out a run) or the Green party might find another celebrity candidate.

[Welsh Rabbit]

C'mon Howie, you owe it to your loyal supporters; go third party!

[MEG33]

Right,he wan't bolt the party,though.

[MEG33]

won't!

[COBOL2Java]

I think Mad How has a bright future in Mexican Professional Wrestling! Let's get him the mask and gold lame cape right now!

[plain talk]

Nader / Dean. Dean would make a great submissive and supportive running mate! And he'd certainly be entertaining at funerals.

[RWR8189]

RUN Howard RUN!!!

[Howie66]

Don't go away mad, Howard........

[MEG33]

Howard was entertaining and Clark amazes me with his arrogant insanity...The dems will deserve having to listen to Kerry drone on and on in his mourning voice and with his Lurch looks.

Napoleon or Han?

The beaming faces of Harkin and others behind Dean, and their enthusiatic applause, plus the frenzied roar of approval from his audience, indicated to me that they were eating up the angry (almost said mad) doctor's over-the-top performance.

[Rome2000]

He can start the "MANIAC" Party.

[Poundstone]

I'm quite convinced Dean will not attempt an independent or third-party run at the White House, for the same reason Nader will not: Democrats and leftists are running scared this year. Unlike in 2000, this year they realize they DON'T have a very strong shot at winning in November; they realize Bush has many strengths, mainly the strong national approval of his handling of the war on terrorism. So, the fixation on winning the White House is more prevalent among Democratic notables than was the case four years ago, when the country seemed fat, dumb, and happy, and it was thought safer to take a shot or two at Gore and the mainstream Democrats, because they just KNEW Gore would win anyway. That's no longer the case.

Remember: despite the hysterics sometimes posted here by Freepers joyous over their belief that Dean is "nuts," he ISN'T nuts. He's very smart. He's a committed Democrat, not a third-party nut case. And he'll do his best to help whoever the ultimate nominee turns out to be. Fasten your seat belt and prepare for a dirty, brusing campaign this fall.

Oh, I wish he would. He has the ego to think he can.
