What do you see Howard Dean doing if he doesn't get the nominee?
Edited on Thu Aug-14-03 01:58 PM by VermontDem2004
Running for Governor in 2006? Running for Senate in 2006 if Jeffords retires? Being a Vice President? What? I am really not sure, but this is a thought that has had me wondering for a very long time, what are your thoughts on this?

1. Moving to California
where he'll run and win in '06. Wishful thinking, of course. But it'd be nice!

3. Well,
I'm positive he won't run for Governor again, and I don't see him challenging either Pat or Jim. I wouldn't be surprised to see him land in a Dem admin should that happen. I expect he will keep active in national politics.

4. I can see him in a cabinet posititon
or running for Senate in 2006 if Jeffords retires. Otherwise he might run for governor if that Douglas jerk doesn't get knocked off next year.

7. If he has the largest grassroots movement behind him, I doubt he would
lose the nomination, but if that happens, I can see him taking over the DNC, rebuilding the party and helping get the House and Senate in Democratic hands. With the largest grassroots movement behind him, Dean will be a power broker within the Dem Party, whether he is President or not.

11. think you're right , but we need to build a grass roots organization
with DEPTH.His is pretty shallow.

Bernie Sanders will run for Senate if Jeffords retires, and HE'LL GET IT IN A LANDSLIDE. Dean could not compete there.

10. Well, short term,
if he doesn't get the nomination I hope he will endorse and support whoever does. I hope Gore will too. We have to get Bush out. After that Dean will have lots of choices.

13. I think it depends on who the nominee is.
He might be a little disappointed if the nominee is Carol Mosley Brown, but as far as I know, I doubt he would be interested in having any of the male candidates.
