1. Ya Hoo ! Thanks Jenk,

2. Great news! n/t

3. Wow

It appears that Dean will be eliminated from contention this Tuesday.

4. Looks like how it will end up in NH

From the input I am getting it will be Kerry, Dean or Edwards for 2/3rd, Joe and Clark fighting for 4th and 5th.

Hopefully Joe and Clark will leave and let us have great debates between these 3 good dem leaders.

Time to get down to serious business and complete what has been going on in the first stage of a primary.

NH, make us have just 3 people to choose from. (Kerry, Dean, Edwards) The rest thank you for sharing your ideas, maybe next time. Learn from this.

I would suggest that clark may not want to go back to being a rich corporate guy and lobbist and maybe get a radio talk show and get experience for 08 or 12. Let the pros with experience like Dean, Edwards and Kerry take over now.

5. Dean is in a freefall

Clark has been losing some ground but not nearly as much as Dean. He will finish ahead of Dean.

6. That will all change after Tuesday when Dean wins NH

It's very, very foolish to forget who really decides NH primaries. It's not going to be the Democrats, it's going to be the Independents, who, incidentally, are essentially supporting Dean and Clark. As soon as the results from NH come out the national polls will look very different. :D

7. I know, I know, and the key is organization, organization, organization

8. Clark...

I have such high hopes for him that if he loses the nod, I'm going to be very disappointed. But that's the game I guess, right? Luckily Kerry is my second choice and I think a Kerry/Edwards ticket has a chance at Bush even now that things are leaning his way.

BTW... Some of you may remember me as RPF113, I had over 3000 posts I think, but I can't figure out how to get my friggin' password.

Anway,
Peace,

12. Don't give up. Kerry/Clark is my dream, Rove's nightmare.

9. Kerry dead once Dems realize how GOP will cripple him with cancer rumors

If electability is really the main concern this year with the potential nominee, then Kerry should not be the one. THe GOP will spread all sorts of rumors about his cancer. Better to go with Clark or better yet Edwards.

10. Give it up...

that won't fly

Knock 'em out, John!

[KC21304]

11. And the reason you know that, is you are starting them right here.

Way to go.

13. Nice 2nd place for Edwards.

He is still building on that momentum.
