nytimes.com But Dean vowed to press on, maintaining that ``this race is about delegates.'' He was quick to point out that while rival John Kerry won the first two contests, Dean actually has more delegates at this point than Kerry. Dean has 114 delegates to the Democratic convention, to Kerry's 103, of the 2,162 delegates needed to win the nomination, according to an Associated Press tally. A total of 269 delegates are up for grabs in the seven states with contests on Tuesday. Democratic delegates are awarded proportionately based on the popular vote cast within individual congressional districts as well as a state as a whole.

During his one-hour appearance on the show, Dean continued his criticism of Sen. Kerry as a Washington insider with deep ties to special interests, charging that the Massachusetts lawmaker has raised more money from lobbyists over the past 15 years than any other senator. ``That is exactly what's wrong with American politics and that's why 50 percent of the people in this country don't vote,'' Dean said. Kerry has defended himself, saying he has never taken money from groups, but from individuals, some of whom were lobbyists. Dean insisted on the program that he stands by his criticism and won't apologize.
