Dean, Kerry, and Gephardt will all stay in through March. This year is different. Three strong candidates means that none of them can throw the knockout punch like Bush did in South Carolina.

You're dreaming. Kerry is a stronger candidate than Gephardt. Dean has no way of getting 50% of the delegates. He currently polls 11-13% nationally and the party powers are dead set against him. He won't get a single Super Delegate unless they absolutely have to give them to him. Clark guarantees dean won't walk away with anything. And bottomline, everyone with a brain knows Dean is the weakest candidate versus Bush except maybe Lieberman.

Wash Post says Dem race Muddy, No clear Leader, no clesar anything. By Terry M. Neal washingtonpost.com Staff Writer Wednesday, October 22, 2003; 12:00 AM The Democratic presidential contest appears as muddied as ever, with nothing close to a consensus candidate yet emerging and large numbers of primary voters still uninspired and undecided about who should challenge George W. Bush next year. One poll released this week, by independent pollster Zogby International, suggests that the overwhelming favorite of likely Democratic voters is "Not Sure" with 38 percent, followed by four candidates bunched up within the margin of error: former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean with 12 percent; retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark with 10 percent; Sen. John Kerry (Mass.) with 9 percent; and Sen. Joseph Lieberman (Conn.) with 8 percent. True enough, national polls matter less at this point in the game than polls from individual early voting states. But the picture is murky there as well, polls show. Rep. Richard Gephardt (Mo.) is leading Dean in Iowa. Dean leads the pack in New Hampshire, but Kerry is gaining on him. Sen. John Edwards (N.C.) is leading the pack in South Carolina, but doesn't seem to have caught on elsewhere. Clark, Dean and Lieberman appear to be battling it out in Arizona.
