A snowball's chance in Hell would excite him-But he hasn't got one AND he isn't stupid.So what would he like his candidacy to mean? I believe he is selflessly sacrificing himself (the Right will paint him up as a distraction, or a circus clown-He KNOWS this) to drive all other democratic candidates BACK to the left where our party belongs. Think about it-Any Democrat can win by simple triangulation and push the nation back towards the center...but the center is the very least we should look for at a time when neocon/fundy beliefs have been reviled...when we have a chance at FDR why would we settle for Bush Lite or one more Nafta supporting Democrat??? If you don't know that this is a nexus for the control of our country for the next generation you haven't been paying attention.We're going to win and the question is "How big???". Halfway between Bush and a Democrat is half a bone at best-It's going to take someone Left of a centrist just to work their ass off to get us just halfway back to the America that we've already lost. And that's where Dennis comes in-we can't vote for Mao Tse Tung in the primary but we CAN vote for a principled candidate who is unashamedly an Old Time Democrat-Unions, Social Projects, Personal Freedoms, and real Constitutional Protections. If we Democrats in New Hampshire and in Iowa, just 30% of us, would just write Dennis on our primary ballots than the rest of our primary season would be a rabid Riverdance of viable candidates moving back to where Democrats belong.And THAT is the gift that Dennis gives-the soul of the party-is that TOO much to write???
