Until Dean put the latest bat up I was resigned to go down fighting, but the thought of no Dean to follow is pretty horrifying.
My thought is this, if God forbid we lose Winsconsin, we all emmediatly send John Edwards 25$'s with this message - convince Dean to be your VP and we will supply the funds to beat Kerry. Edwards will be sucking air at that point and badly in need of funds to keep going, but with money he could tear Kerry up, especially in the south.
Edwards might be a little slimy, but lets face it, the son of a millworker is bound to have more respect for the little guy than "Do you know who I AM?" Kerry. The movement and Dean would continue to have great influence, and lord knows Kerry has no chance once Rove and the Corporate press set to work. This would unite the different factions of the party as well, and we could have Dean in 2012.
