How is Kerry the projected winner already?

[Syringer]

According to CNN, Edwards is 4 votes up on Kerry with 28% of the precints reporting, but Kerry is the projected winner. How?

because kerry has won almost everything. so why not this?

The real point here is not how they're projecting Kerry, but how suddenly Edwards is a viable candidate going into the Southern states on Super Tuesday. This is the worst possible time for Kerry that Edwards could make a move. Now Edwards has momentum going into his own backyard, where after Tennessee and Virginia it appeared that Kerry might sweep through the South as well.

It's a race now, folks. When Dean finally drops, hopefully soon, this thing will pull into focus and we'll finally get to learn a little about the two candidates. I've been waiting for this - I have no intention of voting for a candidate just because he's "not Bush", but if we get to see them start to take strong positions, we'll get to make an informed choice.

Almost. but not quite as good as Sadam did in his last election.
