Dean to Stay in Race Until Ringing in Head Stops |
2004-02-10 |
Scrappleface(2004-02-09) -- Former Democrat presidential frontrunner Howard Dean today reversed his previous pledge to drop out of the race if he loses the Wisconsin primary. He now promises to stay in "until this ringing in my head stops."âSimilar to people who have been known to egg on suicide jumpersâ |

#12 Could be right Hiryu.... but who currently is the Harold Stassen? It's kind of an open niche in the Democratic side.... McGovern ran twice... once after losing.... Gene McCarthy? 3 times? Senator Hartpence was looking to give it a try but lost his nerve.... Okay here's my bet Hiryu... let me know in 12 years... Al Gore. |

#11 I dunno, he might have a future as the Harold Stassen of the new century. |

#10 That would be sweet if Dean-o would run as a Green! Bush, Kerry and Dean in a debate. Bush would crush those mental midgets. Rove is probably popping wood just thinking about the possibilities of Mad Howard running Green. |

#9 Anonymous2U, The dems would be so pissed at dean... and rove would be so proud of him. I bet Rove has teams of advisors posing as deaniacs trying to convince him to run as a green :) |

#8 Don't worry about it, dataman1. He's not going anywhere, this was on Bros. Judd: Via Bros. Judd: Former Vermont Gov. Howie Dean and his advisers are looking into options that would allow him to run for president on the Green Party ticket should he fail in his bid to wrench the Democratic nomination away from Sen. John Kerry. Dean had been looking at the Green Party long before his campaign caught fire. As early as late last summer, Dean was considering the Greens as an option, particularly because at the time Ralph Nader, the Green nominee in 2000, appeared less interested in a run. "This isn't a ploy to get Democrats to pay attention to us," says a Deaniac in Washington. "This is about ensuring that our man's views and this supporters' views get carried into the fall campaign. A Green Party bid puts him in the debates with Bush and whomever the Democrats nominate. It keeps us viable." |

#4 And let's be honest -- it's really tough to tell the difference between Dean's actual behavior and satire. |

#3 I took it as an actual report and not satire. I've just begun getting into these BLOG's and probably will make a few more mistakes like that. |

#2 I'm not certain that dataman recognized it for satire... |

#1 why add comments to a scrappleface piece, which is already satire? |
