149. Clark endorsed Kerry for the same reason he dropped out, he thinks
that every election is different, and this year the voters are focused on getting Bush out. Having a credible front runner, I think Dean was just as credible, the majority want to go after Bush.

I think the media and the way the time table was set up this year had a lot to do with the outcome. I don't entirely agree with his assessment as to why it is turning out this way. I respect his decision as his. This is politics and nobody does anything for nothing, so Clark will get something out of it, if only to shut up people who call Clark a Republican.

Dean will drop out when he feels that there is no chance of winning and he is hurting the party. I don't think he is hurting it, so why drop out now? Dean and Edwards are both waiting to see if Kerry can keep his momentum and are ready to be there if he stumbles.

I have lost two candidates, none of the others thrill me, so it is ABB now for me. Doubt I will do much more than vote this November.

When you look at some of the data that the media watchdog groups are coming out with, the media corporations are much more the culprit than the DNC or DLC.
