Dean would never run as a Green, nor would the Greens have him.
I don't think they're considering Howard Dean's consent with the whole "thunder stealing" stuff. I'll admit though that the idea of a bunch of old white guys talking about stealing thunder from an energizefd populist is amusing....
The sad truth is, Kerry probably
will steal Dean's thunder, as well as his energized activists. Many/most of them are ABBers, and would campaign for anybody if it might beat Bush. Others are politico opportunists who are simply building up their own resumes in order to run for city council back home, then state assembly, then etc. etc.

Here's an interesting critique on the lost potential of any kind of "Dean movement." I don't agree with it completely, but the point about Dean running more on rhetoric and populism is kind of true. He didn't really speak enough on any kind of policy reform, and people love the word "reform," it just sounds so pure and ascetic (at least in theory).
