If Kerry, Lieberman et al want to stop Dean, DROP OUT.

Allow Clark to come in 2nd in NH (which he could do in his own right) and have huge mo going into SC where he can be a real force i.e. Bush in 2000. Kerry coming in 2nd in NH is meaningless as he won't be able to capture SC IMO and Dean would therefore maintain momentum in the state. If these anti-Dean guys really want to stop him, they need to drop out. (although they won't, they will just continue bickering and fracture the party).

2. Hmm

Glad to see that you as a "Dean supporter" care enough to post on it.

Very thoughtful of you.

:hi:

3. A Pitt Bull is not a good example of a presidential candidate

A dog that kills people is one that is short lived.

7. Dean is not the chosen one

There is still a full primary vote to be held. Why on earth would those running against Dean drop out? Because you say they should? Not likely.

5. It's Hyperbole, but Dean does have a chance to unseat Bush

I don't like the Pitbull analogy either, but I think Dean's tenaciousness and plain-spokenness resonates with the vast majority of rural folk and disenfranchised voters.

6. I'm sorry but I think this needs to be in the new GD primary section.

If you hit the alert button the moderators will move it for you.:)

8. So that way, Bush can do the stopping in November.

With Ho-Ho, it's four more years.

Ha Ha. It is to laugh.

11. I think the message is "Please Don't beat Kerry"

"Because I think Dean is a Ho Ho and I can't stand to see my candidate get defeated by a Ho Ho"

I love posts like that! So desperate...

12. You bring-up a valid point.

An argument can be made that the anti-Dean vote (which I do think exists, but to what extent, I don't know) is being split-up between five other candidates. If two or three were to drop-out, and if all of their supporters were to go to the other 2 or three non-Deans, the remaining candidates might have enough support to compete with Dean.

As things stand right now, Dean is anywhere from a 2-to-1 or a 3-to-1 lead in most national polls. If a candidate thinks Dean must be stopped for the good of the party, he might want to consider dropping and throwing support to another. Of course, egos won't let that happen..
