Dean is ahead of Clark and Edwards where it counts, the number of delegates accumulated so far. And going by this, Kerry is far from wrapping things up.

ChinuSFO,

This will end my conversation with you. I can no longer tolerate your lies and distortions.

Dean did not self destruct. Dean was destroyed by a surly, self-interested and dishonest media. As you well know, his "I Have a Scream" speech was completely misrepresented by the media, which repeated the "primal scream", out-of-context, and with malicious intent at least 650 times in the two weeks after Iowa. This gross distortion of the facts was the result of a brave (but in retrospect foolish) decision by Dr. Dean to attack media concentration. The media has decided, viciously and selfishly, to destroy the one candidate who had the cojones to suggest that there is too much media concentration in this nation. This they have proven in spades. When the media can lie as it just did, and brainwash the small-minded (not to name names here, Chinu) into foolish and naive positions, we are a nation in trouble. With thinking going extinct, and superficiality and disinformation taking center stage, there isn't much to hope for this campaign season.

Re: Otherwise how do you explain Edwards and Clark still in the race even when Dean is second in Michigan and Washington. It is not the press. It is Dean himself.

Well, duh! Edwards and Clark are still in the race because they still have funding and backers. And your point is?

Oh, never mind. I can't possibly learn anything from you....

Good bye
