I may have to let lose my own scream if he does run. That would be exciting...

Issues We Care About
http://www.democracyforamerica.com/about/issues

It's how we all feel.

Yeaaarrgh!

that.

Dean hasn't disappointed through the years since he ran for Pres and Warren tells it like it is. Biden is also a wise one.

Where's my t shirt? Yearrrgh for days.

I loved the Dean Scream!

Ummm, wait a minute…

Wow I feel better about this country already.

Howard Dean. He was my guy in '04, and even though I liked Kerry, I always longed for Dean to run again. I thought he did a fabulous job as DNC Chair, and never understood why he wasn't left there, or at least given a cabinet post (hello?! Health and Human Services?! He would have been perfect.)

It would be great to have someone run to the left of Hillary.

Clinton coronation. That would not be good for the party or the country. If Clinton ultimately becomes the nominee then so be it, but we need a debate within the party about the direction of this country. Clinton getting the nomination with only token opposition will not get us there.

I still have my campaign signs.

I am so ready to go,

It would be nice to have a candidate run who is not collecting social security. Is that too much to ask?

Therein lies the problem. I can't think of anyone that fits your description that has anything like the stature of those 3. I like Warren, but her lack of experience is an issue. O'Malley I just don't know but a friend I trust says he doesn't have the personal presence to be a threat. I can't think of anyone that can win who I would prefer to Gore or Dean, age notwithstanding. Can you?

I am sure there are some young governors out there. I prefer governors over congress people anyway. That is why I liked Dean in 2004. So I can't give you a specific answer.

I am certainly open to a younger unknown rising out of the muck. I just don't know of any potential diamonds in the rough out there.

Still have all my Dean signs in the closet that everyone told me to throw out

Still got them.

to da max. Imua Dr. Dean.

Well aware he's not far left on many issues. But he's straightforward. You don't have to guess where he stands. And he'll call the Republicans on their bs. And he stood against the Iraq war before it was "safe" to do so. Don't agree with him on everything, but I trust his judgement even when I disagree. If he runs again, I'm so totally on board. My experience on the Dean campaign was incredible. And only part of that was the candidate. Much was the community we found- that knowledge that we weren't alone and weren't crazy (remember how rare that was in '03, '04?) I made lifelong friends. It was important and transformative- personally and politically. And ya know what? To this day, I still, often, find myself saying "Dean was right! *We* were right!"

Dean's a moderate; he'll tell you that, himself. Most of his supporters are progressives, like myself, and there are two reasons for that.

First, we'd like a moderate in office over a conservative Third-Wayer like Obama or Clinton.

Second, generally, we'd prefer to be told what we don't want to hear and have it be the truth then to have someone lie to our faces for votes.

It's never been about getting our pony, it's about having our voices heard and our opinions considered. Dean will do that, even if he doesn't always agree.

Dean respects the voters - all of them. He doesn't play one faction against another or call us the professional left. In return he gets our respect, even when he doesn't always lead where we'd like.

Worked hard for him last go around. Will do so again if he runs.

YEEAARRGGGHHHH

I volunteered for him in 2004.

Unlike Hillary anybody which I will ignore

other than warren (if she wants to) do we have anyone younger than 65 to run?

I like Dean. A lot.

3 years. omG, 3 years. I wonder which side will cycle through more frontrunners who haven't even announced yet in the next 2 years.

I wonder if any of us could even actually guess the names of who gets the nominations on either side. I mean... 3 years. Some of these potential candidates may not even be alive by the next election, just statistically. Others will get taken out with scandal. some will have quit politics for personal reasons, like lucrative private deals. etc.
