Howard Dean Clarifies

In an interview today with Tim Russert, alleged new foe of the Democrats, Howard “Dean conceded that there is no set criteria laid out for the super delegates on how they should vote. “They have to vote with their conscience,” he said. “My personal view is that they should vote for the person who can best beat John McCain.””

Earlier in the interview he said he wants the Super delegates to commit by the end of June because if they go into the convention in Denver divided, they will come out divided. Further he said he has never seen the Super delegates go against the will of the voting majority. He was not clear how Michigan and Florida votes figure into that calculation, but said one way or another they will somehow be seated. That’s clear.

I wonder who he believes can most handily beat John McCain? He did not clarify that and of course it would be an egregious move if he did but it seemed he was making it clear that the Super delegates can meet their original mandate, that of preventing the majority from making “mistakes” as the Democratic leadership believed has happened in several past primaries that yielded Muskie, Carter and Dukakis.

I agree with Jeffry Tubin, legal analyst for MSNBC who said last week that if the Democrats can not take the White House in 2008 they should change their party name to the Whigs.
