1. I voted Dean
No, I'm not crazy. It's just my faith telling me to stay with the doctor. He will do great things for this country. We just need to give him a chance.

2. I personally haven't latched on to a candidate.
I put Kerry, because I'm almost sure he'll be our next president. I'll probably vote Kucinich, whether or not he gets on the Indiana Primary ballot.

3. It would require a complete disaster
for Kerry to not win the nomination now.

I'll stick with Dean until Wisconsin, afterwards, I'll get behind the ham sandwich.

I don't hold out a lot of hope for Dean in Wisconsin.

4. Although I voted Dean..
I agree that it's Kerry's nom to lose. I will support JK in the GE but I don't love him yet.

5. The media is a fickle mistress
one missed expectation and a bad soundbite

7. They're missing out on Gephardt.
What they did to him was unforgivable, treating the pro-worker leftist like some milksop.

11. Sorry, but no symapthy FROM the Devil for Geppy
He was a willing participant in the DLC assault on Dean, and he thought it would guarantee him a win in Iowa. Dick reaped what he was sowing.

Dean, Clark, and Kucinich have been seriously shafted though.

12. I still feel sorry for Gep
OK I'm a sucker for a sob story but his drop out speech was poiginant. But then he was supporting Kerry and I forgot about that heartfelt speech. Ok, I don't feel sorry for Geppy.


Yes, those three you mentioned have been shafted.

9. I said Kerry
Because that's what it looks like, but it ain't over yet.

I have only one fear: this 'superdelagate' thing... that's a lot of votes that the voters have no control over. I fear that the 'superdelagates' might overide the people's choice (whoever that is).

I didn't use to worry about such things. Election 2000 has made me paranoid.
