16. See, we have this thing called a national convention
I'm sure you know all about it. About how there can be as many votes on the floor of the debate as necessary to choose a candidate. It's literally a free for all. Actual threats have been reported in past elections.

The really cool thing about the Dean campaign is that we're the only ones taking our party back. If things go as well in the rest of the country as they have in my state, Dean supporters will be chosen as delegates. If a nominee isn't chosen after the first vote, the floor of the convention will be stacked with Dean supporters.

This is how Kucinich benefitted from his deal with Edwards in Iowa.
