Howard Dean on MSNBC said "if Bush wanted passed he would have gotten this done, he would have found a way to pass healthcare by now if that is what he wanted. Instead the democrats have let this flounder around for months with nothing done. Also he said we need to fight harder. We need to show decisiveness & boldness & leadership and the president has to lead and quit dealing with the special interests and trying to work with the GOP who said they want to kill this bill."
This might be the best situation. Dean declares early on that he is challenging Obama. And then Hillary can enter the race at a later date, after Dean has already taken all the heat for daring to challenge That One.

It's already a proven fact that DEAN cannot win, he needs to give it up.
However, good point about Hillary, this would take the MAJOR Challenging distraction off of her. By the time Dean screws it all up, Hill can come in and save their Democratic butts. Who better to take the lumps than Dean. :( Who better to save the day! :) This might just work! LOL!

And Speaking of the Party Leaders.................how come we haven't heard from Tim Kaine? What is he up to? All the dems are spinning it like they knew Martha was in trouble, so why didn't he speak out? All the donars pouring money into the DNC, what are they saying?
If Dean runs, I promise to be at a townhall meeting, and plan on throwing my flipflops his way!
I was going to ask this tonight in the chat.. Let's discuss that. I think Tim has not been effective, or has been asked to keep low profile.. [by the WH].

I have several pair myself that need to be discarded. Be pretty funny if we got that one going around and every townhall meeting he showed up at he was bombarded with flipflops.
Can you imagine his embarrassment about the 2nd or 3rd time it happened. Might as well let him know from the get-go that he can save alot of people alot of money by gracefully bowing out. DEAN......Graceful......Nah! Ain't gonna happen.

Except that if Obama is in the race then she will NOT run against him. She actually believes in her principals. Let Dean be the one to fall but she won't run. My guess is that she will endorse Obama and be done with it.
