Dean's political career died during uninspiring showing in WI (CA Aggie)
Howard Dean's political career died today during an uninspiring showing in the Wisconsin democratic primary. His political career was 13 years old...

Howard Dean's political career began in 1991 in Vermont...

Comment: first there was a wire story, now a college paper, and it is lunchtime in Wisconsin, to the best of my knowledge.

3. Nice try. I do not support any of the candidates. I do support your right

to vote for anyone you wish, however, and whether your vote counts or not, I believe it should.

14. NP :) I posted this because it is the second one today I have seen that

talks about the results of the Wisconsin primary in the past tense. Because as of this writing, it is 2 in the afternoon or close to it, in Wisconsin, I find it interesting that the media is making any statements about who won or lost.

4. don't be a sore loser
if he doen't win, he doen't win. We people in the largest (dem) state should be the ones complaining- having a bunch of RED STATES make crucial decisions. Sorry Ia, WI, but TN OK, VA making the decision? Time for a series of regionall primaries all within a month.

6. I know, being in Ohio and not having
my primary until March 2, I was really hoping to have more of a choice than what it now looks like will be on the ballot.

5. CK, welcome to DU and I just wanted to say that I admire
greatly your courage in coming on here with that sig line and graphics, even though I strongly disagree with you. Just prepare yourself for the onslaught!

24. People are still trying to be polite
Try to remember that EVERYONE'S vote is a vote of conscience, whether it is third party or ABB.

7. They may have access to the exit polls
Dean will likely come in third.

9. Yeah. The exit polls.
Maybe true, except that most people haven't VOTED yet!!! I don't know what kind of magic exit polls they could be looking at.

22. We're a little backward in Wisconsin.
We often exit before we enter. Kinda like the young lady from Bright/who travelled much faster than light.

She set out one day
in a relative way

and returned on the previous night.

And as far as the Wisconsin Polls usually being wrong, all I can say is that my friend Stanley Kowalski usually is.

8. "Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated..."
Poor Puddin'Head Howard. (lit ref, not insult)

Do you think he'll give the eulogy at his own funeral?

15. all this because the AP sent it on the wire before the polls OPENED!
American democracy is as real as the Easter Bunny.

16. That's an opinion piece by a student who seems to be a Dean supporter.
It's not a news piece.

17. Wisconsin voters usually vote after work
and we've got almost 6 hours left before the polls close.:wtf:

I just talked to a guy that is going to vote for Dean tonight along with his wife.

And Howard Dean has stated he's staying in the race no matter what happens here today.

I hope some pollsters get egg all over their faces today with their "predictions" because we have a lot of independent voters, like myself, here getting behind Dennis Kucinich and his vision of the future.
