Howard Dean on a 2016 run: 'Probably not, but we'll see'

MONTPELIER — Howard Dean, the former Vermont governor and unsuccessful 2004 presidential candidate, said Thursday he is not ruling out another run for the White House in 2016, but doesn’t expect to be a candidate.

“As they say, the second time around you have to see a psychiatrist first,” Dean quipped. “The first time you don’t know what you’re getting into.”

Dean added, “I think probably not, but we’ll see.”

Dean made the comments during a visit to the Vermont Statehouse for Thursday’s inauguration of fellow Democrat Peter Shumlin to a second term as the state’s chief executive.

media to bully and take him down this time. I also would like to see Alan Grayson run and I do know Alan would not let the Repugs bully him.
