And then you can start to ponder the general election ramifications!
But I also tend to think it will not come to pass. You and Jacko have been ever so slowly luring me to that view...

That would have to rocket right to the top of any "worst job" list you could imagine.

(I'm operating from the assumption that it will be Obama who comes out on top from that scenario)
Don't you suspect at a certain level, whovever deals the final blow to the Clintons -- delivers that coup de grace, "Emperor has no clothes" moment -- will go down in DNC legend? I do. I think a lot of Dempols cannot wait to be rid of the CLintons' higher aspirations. (Although they will be gracious and lovely to Senator Clinton, who will serve with distinction for years to come)
If Dean helps Clinton pull out some kind of tawdry-seeming victory ... all hell will break loose. I will go to Denver myself and go Chicago on the lot of them.
