He has a lot of money, he has a lot of organization, and he has a lot of fanatics “Bush haters” followers a.k.a. “Deaniacs”. Despite all this, Howard Dean is fighting for his life to stay in the race. If this trend of him falling down continues, he may find out after February 3rd primaries that it is impossible for him to be the nominee. If he reaches this desperate stage, he will have three choices. One choice is to continue the race despite all the disasters and hoping for the best. Another choice is to withdraw from the race and gracefully supports the Democratic Party nominee. A third choice is to withdraw from the primaries, saves his tens of millions of dollars that he assembled from contributions, and runs as a third party candidate. He will justify his decision to go as an independent by blaming the Democratic Party establishment for his demise and that the establishment Democrats (Clintonites) have been conspiring against him from the beginning and working very hard to eliminate him. He will also accuse them that they are faithful servant to President Bush and that they are not doing the will of the people. The question is will Howard Dean have any supporters left to fuel his third party presidential campaign?
He still have a lot of “Bush Haters” left wing supporters who are willing to go with him till the end. He will sell these crowds all the anger, hate, and rhetoric that they lust for. He will promise them all type of socialistic programs, social liberalism, and Internationalism. He will wage class warfare, attacks the rich people and threatens to tax them to death. He will talk proudly about how he signed gay civil unions law when he was governor of Vermont and that he will fight very hard to make gay marriage and gay civil union a federal law. He will promise them that he will reverse the late term abortion ban law and push for another law that will allow minors to have abortion without parents notifications. He will tell his leftist crowds that under him America will never go to war without the permission of the U.N. and the international community. He will tell them that America military power should not be the predominant one in the world. He will tell them everything they want to hear about why to hate President Bush. And these crowds will keep pouring money in his campaign because they are blinded by hate toward President Bush, toward our American traditional values, toward our free market society, toward our military, toward our great success, and toward our us being the only super power in the world. They will do all this despite the fact that their support of a third party Howard Dean will definitely mean re-electing President Bush, the man that they hate the most.
So the question remains, if Dean loses the Democratic party nomination will he go solo? Time will tell, and this time is coming soon.
Yeah, in the bathroom sink.
Not likely. Unlike conservatives who have a proclivity to shoot themselves in the foot every chance they get over a single issue like GWB's amnesty for illegals, liberals are filled with a simplistic rage to heave GWB out of office at any cost. Therein lies the greatest power they have left in this election. Although you can expect many conservatives to stubbornly fold their arms and stay away from the polls, I would not count on the Democratic Party in this election to offset any pig-headed Republicans tactics. The Dems want to WIN in this election, and they want to win BAD.
