3-2-2004 Howard Dean Finally Wins A State, His Own, He Wins Vermont 2 to 1

Howard Dean's home state voters handed him his only victory of the Democratic presidential season Tuesday, two weeks after he withdrew from a race he once appeared destined to dominate.

Vermont Democrats showed little concern that Dean withdrew from the race Feb. 18 after going winless in the first 17 contests, favoring their former governor by a 2-to-1 margin over front-runner John Kerry, exit polls showed.


John Kerry is stumping hard right now in downtown Atlanta.

John Edwards is 90 miles south in Macon. Edwards will then drive back to Atlanta later tonight and will be at the new Georgia Tech Conference Center for the Election results.

Edwards needs Georgia to stay alive is the sentiment.

Georgia is predicted to be the Florida this November because of the deep Job Losses that don't exist according to the AT experts.

Georgia has more registered women voters than men.

Florida is still a lock for Bush because if his brother and other Cronies.

Georgia has been left behind and not happy about that.

The winner of Ohio wins the election.

No Republican has ever won without Ohio.

Only twice has a Democrat won without it.....and this year wont be the 3rd time.

Depends on the south. I have two possible scenarios where kerry wins Ohio but loses the whole shooting match. But then again I don't think Ohio will fall on the (D) side this time around(especially with kerry getting the nod). Also, I think we have a good chance at putting the great state I live in - in the (R) column this time.:D

Excuse my ignorance, but what's the significance of Ohio? Does it have an important role in the election process...or is this Ohio thing simply a statistical coincidence?

Ohio is being fixated on by the pundits because it will have 20 electoral votes in 2004 which is about 7.4% of the total you need to win an election.

I think that people say that no Republican has won without Ohio or that Missouri has gone with the winner each election saved one is because these two states are a close reflection of the whole U.S. in terms of population dynamics. You have a couple of urban centers with large minority populations, battleground suburban areas outlining the big cities and more conservative outside the metropolitian areas. You have a mixture of industry and agriculture. The unions are a core base of the Democrats but there is also a large conservative religious population. It will be a battleground state. Gore spent nothing in Ohio in 2000 and lost by 4% or about 180,000 votes.
Because Ohio has been hard hit in manufacturing job losses and a sluggish economy, it will be a test to see if the Democrats can win this state.
