THE ONLY THING THAT CAN SAVE DEMOCRATS IS IF HOWARD DEAN CHALLENGES OBAMA FOR THE NOMINATION

IF DEAN CHALLENGED OBAMA, THEN HILLARY WOULD JUMP IN, TOO.

AND THEN - AFTER A BAD SHOWING IN A PRIMARY - OBAMA WOULD WITHDRAW.

THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THE DEMOCRATS CAN AVOID A BLOODBATH IN 2012, SO-TO-SPEAK.
