+note+ I am still not conceding this race.
I don't think we need a southerner, we need a populist centrist.
IF Kerry ends up losing Ohio, we need someone who can project this image. That person most likely comes out of the MidWest, Howard Dean has that image and, I believe would have pulled off the election. Unfortunately most democrats who had the opportunity to vote in the primary disagreed and went with what was perceived as the safe choice and known factor.
I'd like to see him run again, if Bush pulls out the election, and Barack Obama should mull it over, depending on how his freshman Senate career is going.
Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Wisconsin, or Missouri + Dean (Plus POSSIBLY the SWern states of New Mexico Arizona, or Nevada). That is where our candidate should come from.
