Do you think it's logistically possible to do that in 8 weeks?

No worse than writing in Dean I would guess. It is not impossible. I don't believe I ever said it was likely. I believed you talked about writing in Dean at one point. Mainehikers Idea of getting the party to Dump Kerry and run Dean would make the time frame work if they did it immediately.
It is not the way parts politics work though. If we could kick them in the shins hard enough, who knows?

Do you remember posting that you thought Kerry would have a plan to bring the troops home in a year?

THAT was the big mistake! Collectively what the hell were we thinking??! Blind faith! Kerry quite sometime after that would not even promise to bring them home by the end of his term. THEN when he slips behind in the polls he says he will have them back by the end of his term. Four more years? Thats twice as long as the war Bush has already given us. Why so many people just assumed good things about Kerry is beyond me. Anyone but Bush hysteria I guess. I think that Mainehiker is displaying a healthy democratic reaction to a candidate that sucks. He wants to vote for some one else. Bush and Kerry both suck! His desire to get Kerry out now makes a HELL OF A LOT MORE SENSE than "anyone but Bush" hysteria, vote and pray which is what got us Kerry the clown to start with. BWDIK

sarals i know nothing of the laws and bureucratic paperwork that need be done, but i have suspicion, and only a suspicion, we are beyond the point one could get Dean onto a ballot.
But here is a way out internet idea, what if say 3 weeks before the election it were to be painfully clear to ABBers that Kerry was going to lose.
To then commence a internet drive for ABBers to write in Dean and that Paul guy.
And to ignore Dean if he says no no no, don't do that.
If so much as 15% were to come out Dean it would be a stunning last minute show of for future strength.
And, best yet, it would be World History.
Slogan "Shake Rattle and Roll World History,write in Dean"
