Howard Dean, the former Vermont governor and Democratic Party boss who ran for president in 2004, has started to hint that he might be up for another run, especially if Hillary Clinton doesn’t in 2016.

Dean stirred up speculation with a recent speech in Iowa and a planned trip to New Hampshire followed by this comment about his potential candidacy last week to Vermont Public Radio: “I’m intending to support Hillary, assuming she runs. So, the answer is, it’s unlikely.”
