WI: Kerry just squeaks by Edwards

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (CNN) -- Sen. John Kerry won Tuesday's primary in Wisconsin, but a closer-than-expected second-place finish by a surging Sen. John Edwards may have put a ch1nk (how sad is it that I have to use the 1 to get past AT's censors?) in the Democratic front-runner's armor, with a huge batch of contests just two weeks away.

With 99 percent of the precincts reporting in Tuesday's primary, Kerry had 40 percent of the vote, followed by Edwards at 34 percent and former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean at 18 percent.

Good for Edwards, keeping Kerry honest and making things interesting. He's only going to have a week to work on the Super Tuesday states, which works against him and his greatest strength of speaking to small groups, so he probably won't do so well there.

Personally, I feel Edwards would be a better president than Kerry. Edwards obvious dislike for lobby groups, and the fact that he hasn't been in politics as long as Kerry, is a good thing in my eyes. Some people prefer Kerry's *cough* experience, I don't.

I can't stand Kerry. Dean was my choice, but he bit the dirt.

Edwards I can live with, even though he voted for the war. He might be the Dems only remote hope to squeek by The Bushmeister.
