Sen. Kerry’s Surprise Win Spurs Interest in Presidential Race
Sen. Kerry’s Surprise Win Spurs Interest in Presidential Race

By STEPHEN M. MARKS
Crimson Staff Writer

Sen. John Kerry surged to victory in Monday’s Iowa caucuses, handily defeating frontrunner Howard Dean in a triumph that will likely breathe new life into the Massachusetts Democrat’s once-sagging presidential campaign.

Kerry, D-Mass., who had trailed Democratic frontrunner Howard Dean by over 25 points in some polls a month ago, led by slight margins in the polls all week leading up to the Monday vote. He beat Dean by a commanding 20 points, 38 to 18 percent, in Iowa.

1. He is also going to take 1st in NH.
I support Clark, But have been impressed with Kerry & wish him the best of luck in NH. It's nice to finally have a Democrat that deserves to be a frontrunner...

2. Isn't it funny
That someone who goes by the "Democrats unite" tag would be slamming another Democrat?

4. Far from a fact.
Just one more opinion..


Its supporters like you that have me convinced to NEVER vote for Clark. If he somehow wins the nomination, I'll write in someone else.
I feel THAT strongly about it. Its not Clark the guy Hes about 3 on my list, but its his supporters here on DU that have convinced me to never vote for him. Flat out.

Hell in the last week I've talked 5 people outta voting for the guy in Florida's primary. *GO ME!*

5. I am glad to see it's supporters that can change your mind...
For me it's the candidates! And Dean has proven to me with out a doubt he is not Presidential and never will be. You can take that to the Bank.
