1. The question is kind of brutal
because Sharpton's campaign is still marching forward.

2. You're right, my bad.
I should make another poll for the 4 major candidates, and include Sharpton. Maybe next time.

8. Dean's delegates are mostly superdelegates
Edited on Wed Feb-04-04 08:04 PM by Bleachers7
There are very few elected delegates. Clark, Dean, and Edwards all have more elected delegates. Also Dean ran in fewer states yesterday than Kucinich.

16. I guess a difference of opinion is not an option
in the world in which we live? How is that so F'in different from the neo-con's worldview? Democrats have failed once again to distinguish themselves from Republicans. :puke:

10. actually kucinich has beat repub incumbants freom OHIO not lib havens
like MassOhio has alot of reagan democrats that kucinich won over..Kucinich has a record that can stand up to bushes He will attack bush on issues and mean ithe doesnt flip flop he also i think which is very important did not buy into the lie w did what does that say about him?
He also believe or not has some support from the other side(my own kucinich group has a few libertarians and an ex repug)he has the appeal for the old school conservatives who want less govt and dont like nafta
He appeals to greens socialists libertarians reformpartiers and also some of my anarchist friends who dont vot one principle said they would vote for him

17. Locking this thread.
The term "major candidate" is still rather subjective. Locking as inflammatory.

Thanks,
