It appears that the second John on the ticket will be standing in for the first John. Edwards indicated that he would like to be beaten again. His divisive rhetoric he ran on last time ensured that he couldn't even deliver his home state. Any Presidential candidate that cannot win their own home state is not a serious contender.

DEAN LEADS KERRY BY 30 IN N.H.
5 December 2003

A new poll by Zogby International shows Vermont Gov. Howard Dean now leads his nearest rival, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, by 30 points in New Hampshire. The poll showed Dean with 42% support among likely primary voters and Kerry at 12%, with a +/-4.5% margin of error. The New Hampshire primary will be held January 27th, and is thought to be the first big test in the competition for the Democratic nomination to challenge President Bush. The poll is especially significant, given the degree to which Dean had been treated as an underdog outsider by Washington party leaders, and indicates that the Democratic base is looking for something other than what Washington currently has to offer.

Concurrent Zogby polling shows Dean also leading in Iowa and South Carolina, the other two early tests, but by narrower margins. In South Carolina, Zogby shows Lieberman and Clark 2 points behind at 9%, with Gephart, Sharpton and Edwards at 7%. In the Iowa Zogby poll, Gephart now trails Dean by a narrow 26-22 margin. The rise of Gephart's campaign in Iowa, and the flourishing of Dean's campaign nationwide appear to indicate that grassroots organization and the Democratic base will be major factors in this term's primary process.

* I post this to remind people that when the going gets tough, Kerry gets even tougher. It is perfectly clear that Gore and Kery are the most frightening potential Dem nominees for the GOP, as well as the most frightening rivals to Hillary CLinton. Anyone who denies this is a bald-faced liar. Both Kerry and Gore could wipe out McCain. And in 2004, though Kerry made some mistkes, Bush basically stole the election again. Ohio 2004 was ground zero for the worst election fraud we have ever seen in our lives, though Florida 2000 ran a close second.
