[Khephra]

AMES, IOWA -- Howard Dean says if he wins the Iowa Democratic presidential caucus next January, he should win the Democratic presidential nomination.

"It's going to be hard to stop us if we win Iowa. There is no question about that," Dean told reporters Friday outside his Ames headquarters.

1. Braun should drop out soon....

and wait to be appointed HUD secretary.

Dean should be less prophetic.

2. I don't think that Dean will win Iowa

and I don't think that he'll win the nomination!

3. And who will?

Dennis Kucinich?

4. That's a bit premature

Dean may well win Iowa & New Hampshire, but the process is full of pitfalls and his exuberance is not yet justified.

That being said, I believe that he will go on to win both the nomination and the Presidency with Gen. Clark's help.

5. That sucks

if that happens, as usual California Democrats have no input into who gets the nomination. I don't care if it is Dean, Clark, Kerry, Edwards or whoever, it being decided in January leaves out awhole lot of the country from having a say. :argh:
