Should Peter Welch step down in '10 so Howard Dean can run for Congress?

What do you guys think?

Note: Leahy likely isn't going anywhere so I don't pose that question.

1. No. After Governer, presidential candidate and DNC chief why would he want this?

2. Peter Welch is a fine representative.

We want to keep him in place. We're proud of all 3 of our United States Congressmen from Vermont.

3. No. Why should a good Dem. step down so another good Dem. could run in his place?

I'm sure the good Doctor would laugh at your proposition.

5. Oh please. There is a thing called SENIORITY in the House.

Dean wouldn't bring anything other than what we already have.

There is no reason to replace one good Democratic Congressman and his vote with another.

Another than to post threads about it and stir up shit.

7. Should Jesus Christ step down so Howard Dean can run for Savior?

I think after all he's done, anything less would be a snub.

10. Ridiculous shit. And Dean would laugh his ass off at you

for this suggestion. Not to mention that Vermonters wouldn't go for it. Welch is a terrific rep, and he's not going anywhere. Nor is Pat or Bernie.
