I suspect that candidates who either are at the ends of the visible Dem spectrum (Kucinich, Lieberman) or are often perceived to be (Dean, Clark) have at least some supporters who, if their candidate isn't nominated, either won't vote or won't vote Dem. Will/would some Kucinich folks go Green, or some Lieberman folks go Republican? I have no doubt - same goes for Dean and, quite possibly, some supporters of other candidates. You asked a question of "Dean supporters", which is not a monolithic group. Christ, just on DU it includes both jiacinto and IndianaGreen. You're asking what they'll do? How would anyone know?

I think that's what Dean meant in the quote that made you so scared and then so angry. My apologies for the question, but why not ask it of the supporters of other candidates?
