But let's try and stay focused on a run as an independent. Kennedy would probably have done much better, even back then, had he left the party. He had the recognition and, for the most part, the machine it would take. I don't think Dean would have any chance at all of defeating Obama in a primary. It would be foolish to try. But if he ran against him in a three-way general election, I think he could win. In the general people always vote for who appears to be the stronger candidate, and I think Dean could be much stronger by then than Obama will be, barring some dramatic change in behavior.
