So since Dean cant be the president, what should he do for democrats?

[taxidriver]

I'd say either DNC chairmen or somewhere else that he can change policy for the better. there's no doubt he would help round out the dems.

[taxidriver]

1. as an afterthought, it would be nice if he'd give kucinich a say in policy

as well.

[FreedomReload]

2. Was Another Dean Thread Really Necessary????

You make it sound as if it was Dean's destiny to be president, but was denied it.

[taxidriver]

4. i'm not alone in that opinion.

and the thread isnt necessary, but i would like to think that he isnt going away forever, and that kerry will repay the energy he has given back to the party.

[iamjoy]

7. Give Dean Credit

I think he energized a lot of young Dems and other voters.

But is this wistful thinking? I remember the line the pundits seemed to love "dated Dean, married Kerry" Once married, is there a place in your life for "the one that got away"? (wasn't there a movie about this with Kathleen Turner and Nicholas Cage?)

Dean spoke to our anger, and told us we have a right to be angry.
Kerry/Edwards speaks to our hope.

On the other hand, if we lose this fall (nightmare) Dean will become more important than ever, whereas Kerry and Edwards could be marginalized.

14. Taxi driver asks a legitimate question as opposed to the other

thread. These are very real questions, that are worth looking at. There is a place for both as prominent figures in party policies. They have brought a lot of energy to the party, and should hold respectable positions, to help keep this energy alive. We need progressive and innovative thinkers to help undue all that the Neocons have destroyed. It is going to take some very creative thinking to piece this country back together. As much as I respect Kerry and Edwards, they are going to have their hands full and will need special talent to help do it. This is a thread that is asking how can we be a part of the solution, not a part of the problem!

15. A Dean thread on a Democratic forum??? Sacrilege!!!

Geez...lighten up.

[TeacherCreature]

35. yup, that sums it up for me

of course you could always just avoid the thread if you are not interested.

[Worst Username Ever]

3. FCC chair

[Guaranteed]

28. Oooo...I like that one too.

I think DNC chair would fit better, though. It would be the best place for him to help change the party, from the inside out.

[TeacherCreature]

36. FCC

DNC, Health and Human services, ATTY General and Secretary of Education. There is a lot to be fixed and those are all areas I trust him to get right. I'd like to see him in charge of all of them.

[eridani]

5. Replace McAuliffe's sorry ass n/t

[taxidriver]

9. that's my dream. n/t

[calico1]

12. That would be a great position for him

he is great at energizing voters, especially young ones.

[phiddle]

6. Whatever he wants to do! :-)

[AntiCoup2K4]

8. Take back the party!

Then take back the country, for REAL!

31. LOLOL

You never fail to spew a bunch of vitreol in any post about Dean. I'm just calling your crap, sport. It's VERY clear that you're glad Dean lost. You never miss an opportunity to tell people to "get over it" even though most of us already have. What I can't "get over" is your incessant sniping.

[Dookus]

32. You're mistaken

I miss hundreds of opportunities to say it.

The Original Poster here had JUST started another thread asking if we could go back in time, would we choose Dean. When the Deaniacs go off on their crazed missions to attack Kerry for not being Dean, I DO get involved. And I tell people to get over it because we have a very important task to accomplish: winning in November!

I also don't tell people they're assholes, and I don't tell them to shut the fuck up, as your side continually does to me and others who didn't support Dean.

Anyway, get over it.

[lojasmo]

33. No need to attack Kerry for not being dean.

Neither of them is the perfect candidate. Anybody who doesn't realize that is a fool. Of course the perfect candidate would never run for president, so....

I can almost always count on you to pop your head into a +Dean thread to snipe, though.

[TeacherCreature]

37. like your post wasn't a nasty gram?

?

[TeacherCreature]

38. the only nasty attacks on this thread are from you

why not just avoid the topic if you are so distressed?

COFF

11. Dean just might make a great party chairman

He speaks to a new generation of Democrats.

[deminflorida]

13. Party Chairman.....

He'd do the best job in that position.....The Party Needs Dean's Fire!!!

[Larkspur]

16. I agree but think Dean's heart would be more in tune with HHS

Health and Human Services.

[FreedomReload]

17. On Second Thought, I Guess This Thread Was Needed

Considering the flamefest the other one turned into.

[taxidriver]

19. you consider that a flamefest? you should check out the gungeon sometime

lol.

[FreedomReload]

21. Are You Refering To The Justice/Public Safety Board????

I have read about the gungeon before but never deared to look.

[taxidriver]

22. yes, you should go there...i went and got sucked in.

i actually posted a thread there pleading for sanity amidst the flame wars.

[FreedomReload]

23. That Place Is Pretty Crazy LOL

Nice to see someone trying to be the voice of reason.

[taxidriver]

24. didja check it out? people there dont really have a middle ground...

i myself suffer from that sometimes, too. (i am pro-gun)

[FreedomReload]

25. Been Reading Many Of The Threads

Not much I can add there since I don't own any guns and couldn't begin to judge their safety. Funniest thread: "We need more gun posts"

[MercutioATC]

29. Try the 9/11 Forum. It's like a cockfight in there...

[emulatorloo]

18. Ambassador to Mexico or Canada

He would make a great ambassador, and that would help him gain foreign policy creds for his next presidential bid.

[FredScuttle]

20. replace Whoopi as the entertainment at fundraisers

Dean Scream beats lame vagina jokes any day of the week

Thank you Gov. Dean for giving this party a spine implant.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

30. Secretary of Health and Human Services

in Kerry's cabinet.

Get that health plan passed bro! You go Howie!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

34. I'd love to see Dean head the DNC...he revolutionized fundraising

for the Dems.
