Is the Voting block that is seeking outsider reform being ...
...split by Dean, Clark and Kucinich. If the Supporters of Dean and Clark had supported only one candidate for most of the primaries yesterday then they would have easily beaten Kerry and Edwards. I don't mean to infer that they WOULD all do this but what if the preponderance of them did. It seems that all three of these candidates although they differ somewhat on specific issues, all represent the non Washington portion of the party. If any one of these could coalesce the support they share then he would probably be the nominee.

2. Yeah, pretty much. Some of it goes to Edwards, and a little to Kerry
Ya never know, Kerry could be a good president. I just would prefer someone both with clean hands and maybe a bit more, I dunno, angst....

3. These forces have more in common and should join in the manner I propose
In states where one candidate of these three is closest to winning, the supporters of the other candidate should vote for that one. That way we, those who want true reform, get something rather than nothing.
