It remains to be seen if Kerry can even finish ahead of Clark, or if anyone can. The overwhelming favorite is still undecided. The lefty wing generally prefers Dean, but they are outnumbered by a so-far un-unified centrist wing. After the first two major candidates drop out we'll get a clearer picture. Kerry first needs to at least run very close to Dean in New Hampshire and Iowa. You can bet Clark will win SC with Edwards a close second. If all that happens, then Lieberman and Edwards will probably drop out. We could have a very close four-man race after that. Or not. Getting too far ahead of myself. Who knows at this point? Clark must realize he's probably going to be the VP pick unless he wins it all. The odds of him winning it all are not good as he won't be the DLC and DNC's first "anyone but Dean" pick.

It's ironic that Dean made his name opposing the war. His campaign bears a striking resemblance to it. Skeptics said toppling Saddam Hussein would take months, but it was over in a flash. The same seems true of the Democratic presidential contest. Dean has blown away his competitors in the money race. He's tied with Dick Gephardt in the polls in Iowa—Dean will probably win it—and he's killing John Kerry in New Hampshire. Today in the ballroom of the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C., Dean gets the joint endorsement of two powerful labor unions. Their message is: The race is over. Dean has the magic, the money, and now the muscle. The atmosphere is celebratory. The only thing missing is a banner declaring, "Mission Accomplished." Continues.........
