Okay - before you read the article we know the following:
1. Safire is known for his libertarian/conservative views.
2. He has never written an article in support of the Democratic party, and this fact should always be acknowledged.
3. Three words: Grain of Salt

http://www.nytimes.com/2003/12/24/opinion/24SAFI.htmlPersonally, I believe Clark/Dean is a dream ticket and wish they'd stop nit picking at what happened with this VP debaccle. Many of the posts I've read by Dean supporters have acknowledged that they wouldn't mind Clark being given the VP, many Clark supporters would love to see Dean as the VP. I guess that's what makes the difference between a Clark supporter and a Dean supporter. We should support our own candidate!
<b>We should! This is a good thing!
The Dean Movement is great!
The Clark movement is great
(insert rah rah cheerleader noise here)</b>
The article though suggests something very serious (and I may just donate to be allowed to post a poll - but beat me to it please)
Would the Dean base support his candidacy as a third party?
