Howard Dean -- new Democratic President?

What do you think about Dean (the most liberal Democratic candidate)? What are his chances? What direction will the US be headed if he ousts Bush from power?

Dean is my personal favorite. I don't think it's any surprise to anyone to know I tend to sway a little more to the left. He has the most stark contrasts to almost all of Bush's policies, which is fine by me. However, many of his critics tend to feel that any pure leftist can be as dangerous as any far rightist (as I tend to view Bush Jr.), which does hurt his chances a little bit. He also will likely not be as fully endorsed and funded by groups as much as some of the more moderate Dems., but he does have a strong grassroots backing. But like other Dems., he needs to continue to bring solutions to the table, regardless of the possible criticism, as opposed to continual lashing at every Neo-Con/GOP policy.

Dean and Kerry are the two creepiest looking Democratic candidates. Al Sharpton doesn't count. They're all just a bunch of noise makers right now. Things should get interesting going into the fall.

democrats bring solutions to the table? well not very good ones then! just my opinion though

as far as...hmmm....a Democrat, - any Democrat winning in the next Presidential Election, they'll have to dig a bit deeper and find someone very well liked and respected with good credentials to beat Bush.

In my personal opinion, I think Bush will win again...and so hope he does so...

LOOOOOOOOOOL! the bum in Dowtown Miami will beat up Bush anytime rofl.

I know polls were showing that any democrat would beat Bush if the elections were today.
As of Dean. Maaan that guy is straight to his point, caring less about the critics and such. Was that the guy that just said he was against War in the middle of the strongest tention?!?! hehehehe that guy is kinda fun, but his got a point. Not like some others that will say whatever favors them in the moment. Dean was just saying what he believed on, even knowing that majority was for war at the moment. If he wins, I think it'll be a sad sad day for republicans, lol for real.
Anyways.. I go for anyone that is not Bush.

The problem with the democrats is that they need to solidify their backing into a single leader if they wish to beat the republicans in the next election. Having 3 or 4 potential candidates will only split the democratic vote and present a weakened front. Also those damned flukey green party/independant voters need to get their act together and actually place a vote that's going to count!
