CNN) -- During a campaign interview for the February 17 Wisconsin primary, Howard Dean left open the possibility he would accept a vice presidential nomination on a Democratic presidential ticket.

Asked by radio station WMCS whether he would accept the vice presidential slot, Dean replied, "I would, to the extent, do anything I could to get rid of President Bush. I'll do whatever is best for the party. Obviously, I'm running for president, but whatever's best is what I'll do. Anything."

"We've just got to change presidents," he said. "We're really hurting right now."

What does everyone think about this?

1. I think that ship has sailed.

2. He also said

That if Kerry wins, it would not be a wise move to have 2 north easterners on the ticket. An insightful remark, and true, in my opinion.

I can only hope and pray that whoever wins the nomination, tries to pull all of the candidates together for a show of unity and support, taking each candidates advice on how to earn their supporters votes.

3. Dean is correct

Two people from the New England area would not bode well for the democrats.

4. We would be crushed. That would be terrible.

6. alright

without assuming that Kerry is going to win, which is an assumption at this point, what do you think?

Say Edwards were to win, then what?
say clark was to win?

i swear, alot of you on DU seem to think the primary is already over. I tend to think it got that way RIGHT AFTER Iowa too. pretty sad.

7. I couldn't agree more, but....

when Dean talks like this, it makes me believe that maybe even he is starting to believe it too. Disheartening? Yes. Cold hard truth? Maybe.

I myself am still holding out hope, and waiting for the primaries to run their course.

5. Two Northeastrerners on the same ticket

have no chance.
