Edwards really needed to win Missouri, not Oklahoma. Considering Oklahoma is Clark's backyard, Edwards did great.

The biggest mistake that Edwards made was wasting time and money on New Hampshire. He should have spent the extra week on Missouri and Oklahoma (and South Carolina, of course).

Dean might have 121 now, but he's going to lose most of his unpledged delegates.

People that are voting Kerry because they think he has the best chance of beating Bush are sorely mistaken.

It will come back around, people are starting to wake up and realize that putting a Career Senator with a losing record is not a good idea. Right now News stories are coming out about his being in bed with the Insurance Companies.

The question is whether it will come around soon enough to nominate someone else. When Kerry takes Michigan, he'll have a 250+ delegate lead.

I don't think the average voter knows anything about Kerry, they just see his victories in Iowa and New Hampshire (and now the other 5 states) and think that somehow that translates into a victory over Bush.

Juuio:

Yes, you are exactly right.

Kerry is also so boring he might actually lose to Bush in a head to head debate. The sale of sleep medications would plummet as people rush to buy copies of the Kerry/Bush debates as sleep aids. :)

Kerry tries to sound like JFK but only succeeds in sounding like A.S.S.

Heard on the radio that one of his slogans was going to be a new JFK(his initials) for a new century. If Dean or Kerry wins the nomination like it looks like, they will be like another Mondale. They are far too radical to win the all important moderate vote

I'd love to see Dean debate Bush!

I have wet dreams about it. :)

He would not hesitate to blow the man to smithereens.

Kerry won't do it, and Edwards would just kill him with sweet smiles.

Edwards would run Bush into bigger circles than Bush already does when speaking. What can he say, it's the lawyer in him ;)

Also, you need better dreams ;)

I dropped Clark even before I saw Sharpton beating Clark in a couple of States.

Edwards is really too far back. Dean is just barely hanging in there but losing the support of the old school Politics.

It is the old school Politics driving the Kerry Campaign.

That may not be a bad thing since it is the old school rich that are the Bush loyalists.

Edit: Edwards told an overflow crowd at the University of Memphis that Bush is out of touch.

"He lives a sheltered existence," he said. "He needs to be out here in the real world doing what I'm doing."

The only time any Politicians get out in the "Real World" is when they want your vote. It's disgusting.

Delegates do not need the "votes" by the general public. You can get 100% of the General vote one way and the Delegate can just ignore that vote and choose who he or she wants.

For example if Bush did not get one vote (well he would get CAD's vote) in November, the Delegates can still "Elect" Bush, if electing is what you want to call it.
