If Dean gets the nomination, will the rest of the Dems.....
......fall in line and support him?


I also wonder, when Lieberman does not get the nod, will he pull a Zell Miller and back Bush?

1. I hope they would
as for Lieberman, I think he'd support whoever the nominee was. He is a DINO, but I believe he at least has some sense of party loyalty.

2. No, I think Lieberman will support the Dem
Lieberman is conservative. This is certain. But he is and has always been a faithful Democrat.

4. Yes.

The only time that has not happened was Jerry Brown in 1992, refused to endorse Bill Clinton. Haven't heard much of him lately, either.

If Teddy could grab hands with Carter in 1980 at that convention, our 2004 guys and lady can do the same!!

Lieberman will be a 'good soldier'.

5. yes
I will support what ever candidate is nominated unless it's Lieberman, then I don't know what I'm going to do. Probably vote for him but begrudgingly.

7. I will support Dean if he gets the nomination.

As of now I don't think he would beat Bush, but things can change. And obviously I hope they change radically.


If your question is will the other candidates support Dean, I think they all would, without a doubt.

8. Were you asking about other candidates or their supporters?
In either case I think the answer is yes to your question, even Lieberman, who has said such at debates. The only questions in play I think concern relative levels of enthusiastic support, candidates relative ability to turn out the Dems core base, and their relative ability to expand that base.

I will certainly support Dean, or any of the others if they win the nod, and I would like to think most everyone here would say the same for all the Democratic candidates, even (groan) Lieberman. Bush is THAT BAD. Some small group will sit it out for one reason or another no matter who wins, but I think it will be a very small group.
