If the party is unity-minded, it seems to me that the two leading candidates it can’t nominate are Dean and Lieberman, both of whom would split the party. The first two states to vote are Dean’s strongest states in the country. If Dean wins Iowa and New Hampshire, presumably that both creates pressure for the non-Deaners to unite around somebody else–and takes out Gephardt and Kerry as the potential somebody else. Which leaves, what, Edwards?
