Would you vote for Dean if he runs for President as a Green or Independent

[patricia92243]

I know he says he will not run as an independent, but wait til the DNC kicks him in the mouth by not letting him be the Chair - when that is what the majority of us real folks want.

I never thought I'd see the day I would vote outside the Democratic Party, but if Dean runs as a Green/Independent- I'll probably change parties and vote for him

1. I'd have voted for him this time as 3rd party candidate

If he leaves the D party behind, I'll follow. As it is. I think Dean should take over the reform party.

2. Is the Reform party the one the one that Ross Perot started?

[mandyky]

3. Yes, but Buchanan ran under it in 2000 and he and the NLP

(Natural Law Party), which is about as left as Greens, fought it out, almost physically at the convention in 00.

4. In a heartbeat

I don't care for the way the Democratic Party is leaning. If Dean starts a new party, I'm there.

5. The Democratic Party is moving so far right, that it no longer

represents me. Sure, I would vote for Dean, if he was an independent or Green. He has guts, strength, enthusiasm,,,,.

6. All my donations already go to DFA

...and until another candidate articulates my concerns and experiences like he does, my vote will follow Howard Dean.

7. The Democratic nominee would have to be awful with no chance of winning

The Democratic nominee would have to be someone worse than Kerry and without a chance of winning.

8. this time. no.

if the circumstance was the same again i dont know if I would buy into it.

dean is not a green. i think it would be disingenuous of him to go there. as an independent, maybe.

dont know.

[mrgorth]

9. Yes.

[NYCGirl]

10. There's precious little chance of that happening,

Dr. Dean is a Democrat first and foremost. But by some weird chain of events he did run as something other than (D), I'd vote for him.

[Cheswick2.0]

11. yup

AS long as he remains Howard Dean I sure would.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

12. Absolutely!

If the Democratic Party rolls over and plays dead (or decides Repuke-lite is the way to go)), I hope that Dean starts a new party.
