10. I personally dont think Senate would be a good idea
Its nothing personal against Dean but something tells me I dont think he would be right to run against Jeffords who is an indepedent and votes with the dem cancus, and has to my knowledge endorsed Dean in his presidential run. Leahy he wouldnt run against unless Leahy turned in to Zell Miller, that wont happen. I really dont know what Dean would do if he doesnt get the nomination.

19. The balance in the Senate is so close that he should run against Jeffords.
We need every possible seat to count for Democrats to win back the Senate.

Howard Dean should run against Jeffords (I) in 2006.

24. Someone who endorsed him, someone that well respected
by Vermont voters. Jeffords also votes in the democratic cancus. I really dont see this happening. It would alienate I would think a lot of Vermonters who like and respect Jeffords, it would be one thing if he was still a republican and voting in their cancus.

8. Your right about the Senate.....
He will get many offers if he does not get the nomination. I'd like him to continue with his grassroots movement but......I doubt that he would find the passion again.

3. He should go back to his medical practice
and he will live a more rich and fulfilling life than he would have in politics.

18. Perhaps, but he now has had a taste of politics
and doctors don't like to be told they're wrong. I do agree medicine is more rich and fulfilling than politics.

7. He campaigns
and raises money for the nominee. Atleast that's what I hope he does. I know this primary has got bitter at times. He'd be a great asset in the campaign...

But first lets see how he does in NH.

22. Its not just "He", its "We" and we will continue building until 2008***
Edited on Sun Jan-25-04 09:27 PM by shance
This movement is more than just an election cycle.

We've only just begun. It's about bringing communities and neighborhoods together across America, building from our current foundation and bringing the government back to all Americans,

in short, its about taking our country back.

That takes a little longer than a couple of years.

Weve got the people, weve got the faith, and weve got the time.

15. He turns over all his money to the nominee
and hits the stump like hell to win the White House back for Democrats! He'll either get the nod for Secy of HHS or work for a new liberal think tank where he can lay out his ideas for solving America's problems and lead a resurgence in Democratic values among America's youth...

20. Unless it is Kerry
and possibly even then, he can't give him money to the nominee. I think he should give the money to House and Senate races if he does lose. I don't think that will happen though.

17. Dean has reached Rock-Star status. Could Do a TV show or Talk Radio

Maybe a Oprah like TV doctor show.

But then, Dean is doing quite well in the primaries still.
Could win, esp if Kerry stumbles.

25. He'd probably take some panic-attack medication
and then maybe go back to live off of his inheritance and go ski
