Dr. Dean should commit himself. No joke. The fool is unstable and starting to scare me. He is even more dangerous than Clark.

I never thought I would find "Little Dick Gephardt" appealing

I still say it is all a set-up for Hillary. She cannot allow Dean to take over the party. Clark's campaign seems to have tanked. Bush appears unbeatable.

Hillary must maintain control of the party for 2008. To do so, she may be the candidate in 2004. Even if she loses against Bush in 2004, she maintains control of the Party. Otherwise, if Dean wins the nom, the party could face an irreparable rift (libs vs mods) by 2008, ensuring its defeat. Hillary must maintain control of the party ---in 2004 even to have a chance in 2008.

Additionally, if Guiliani challenges Hillary for the Senate, he might de-seat her. She cannot afford to stay idle in the Pres election, lose control of the party, and possibly lose her Senate seat. That would ruin her political ambition (1st Woman President).

Absolutely

"Little Dick Gephardt" appears to be a statesman on the level of Thomas Jefferson compared to the other whack-jobs leading the Demonrat pack.

Dean is a seriously ungrounded man - he's totally unfit for responsibility at a high level.

And who in H*ll would want this nutbar for a subordinate?

At least Gephardt seems clinically sane, unlike the balance of the field.
