[Zynx]

1. Atleast Dean wins one.

[aquart]

2. Dean is winning Vermont?

Says they liked the way he ran things. We shoulda paid attention.

[lancdem]

6. Candidates tend to do well in their home states

which makes sense.

[Zynx]

8. Some have lost their home states in the primaries.

[Freddie Stubbs]

12. None so far

Except Gepahardt, but he had dropped out two weeks earlier.

[NightNurse]

22. We've checked. [ Actually My husbands Intern did.]You're wrong.

Sorry.As far back as the "Modern Era" ,to wit, 1960 to 2004.
Good for Howard...the $45 Million didn't go to waste,then:wow:

[Freddie Stubbs]

30. It could happen tonight if those Ohio numbers are close to being right

That certainly would he an accomplishment.

[Zynx]

31. Jerry Brown did in 1992. Others have come damn close.

[Gulf Coast J]

36. Kucinich is about to

I guess 10% can be seen as big numbers for him though. What is he expected to get?

[KaraokeKarlton]

10. Not when they suck...which tells you there were many lies about Dean

That were told and bought...hook, line and sinker. Dean is a GREAT leader and a million times better than Kerry could ever hope to be.

[NightNurse]

17. What Hallucinogenic Drug are you ingesting,Pilgrim

Kerry's a proven leader-Dean's a proven SKIER:nopity:

[KaraokeKarlton]

32. Really? What budget has Kerry balanced?

When did Kerry sign Civil Unions into law? Oh yeah, that's right, he's fighting against gay rights in his state. What prescription drug benefit does Mass. seniors have? What percentage of kids in Kerry's state are eligible for insurance? Vermont's percentage is 99%. Did Kerry build up a $100 million surplus while governing through BOTH Bush recessions?

Kerry wore a uniform and shot people in a war we never should have been in to begin with. That might make him a soldier, but it doesn't make him a leader. :eyes:

[MAlibdem]

35. ummm

john kerry will be the nominee in hours, if not days. ABB

[KaraokeKarlton]

37. He might be the nominee, but he won't be president

He's just about the weakest Democratic candidate of the race. Can you say "Bob Dole"? Besides, if the Dems wanted to nominate a war hero to appear strong on national defense they shouldn't have chosen one who was also an anti-war activist. :shrug:

[Nicholas_J]

43. Thats funny

If so, why is Kerry polling ahead of Bush in all national polls of Democrats, Independents, adn Republicans as the candidate that most people want to win in November?

[MessiahRp]

42. That is just plain stupid.

I'd like to reply that your replie was idiotic. Kerry was not a Governor so its not as if he can set the agenda for what passes in his state and as a Senator he was at the whim of 99 other Senators, hundreds of House members and a President whom in 12 of Kerry's 20 Senate years has been hostile to his agenda.

Let's not be ridiculous when pumping up Dean's accomplishments in a tiny state over what Kerry has been able to do in the entire country.

Rp

[WI_DEM]

23. Gep withdrew and he barely made a blip in Missouri

which voted couple of weeks later.

[bif]

13. Just like Americans should have looked at Texas after Georgie got through

with it.

[lancdem]

3. If these are credible

Kerry's looking mighty good. Obviously, Edwards' best chance is in Georgia.

[dsc]

4. God I hope those Vermont numbers hold up

That would be so, so sweet. I also hope Dean is doing well enough here to get a delegate.

[democratreformed]

9. I hope so too for all you Dean supporters

That would be absolutely great for you guys.

[TomSeaver]

5. At least Dean will carry

his state

[Sean Reynolds]

7. Go Vermont!

[Tom Rinaldo]

11. Good!

I want Dean to be part of the "I won a State" Club.

[democratreformed]

14. Me too!

I sure hope it holds out this way.

[KaraokeKarlton]

16. No one can cheat against Dean here in Vermont

so the numbers will hold up.

[democratreformed]

18. That is totally awsome.

He can not only say he won but can add that he won AFTER suspending his campaign. That is truly awesome. I am so proud for Dean and his supporters.

[Nicholas_J]

40. Thats because

he has stuffed the boxes himself.

[lastliberalintexas]

15. I knew there was a reason

I wanted to move to the Socialist Republic of Burlington. Too bad it's so darn cold up there!


And thanks for the good words from the Clarkies who've chimed in so far!

[Monument]

20. Where did these #s come from? Link?

I know they are supposedly from MSNBC but is there a link to an article, or were they read on air?

[goobergunch]

34. Clicky

http://slate.msn.com/id/2096483/

[MAlibdem]

24. During the summer it's awesome

I'm heading up there to camp for a summer after college to write philosophy and politics and my life...it's gonna RULE!

[lastliberalintexas]

33. Yes, but

isn't summer the 3 days that follow 9 months of winter up there? ;-)

I guess that's still better than the 9 months of Texas summer. The old joke is you know you're a Texan if the temperature drops below 75 and you get chilled!

BTW- that sounds wonderful. I hope you enjoy your time there!

[no name no slogan]

44. 3 months of summer? lucky stiffs!

Here in MN, we're lucky if we get TWO months of summer each year!

And for those two months, you'd swear you were in Singapore, too. Hot, humid, bugs, eeew. Not to mention the road construction....!

But hey, the 10 months of winter are unbeatable-- at least, the six where it's "warm" enough to go outdoors!

:hi:

[juajen]

38. Well, this Clarkie is just now checking in, but

I, also, think it's awesome. Go Dean!

[DancingBear]

19. To paraphrase our favorite saying

Go, Howard, Go!

[WI_DEM]

21. Dean still has some pretty strong supporters, God love 'em

winning in Vermont (if that is the case) and still running third in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut. I wonder how he will do in the Minnesota Caucuses.

[EXE619K]

26. Not sure about MN for Dean...

The vast majority of the Dean folks here are voting with Edwards.

The chair for John Kerry didn't make a case for us MN Deaners to join his camp during our last meeting.

From what I saw that night...80% were switching votes for Edwards and about 20% of us were still voting Dean.

[Mairead]

25. MSNBC? And you *believe* them?

[Freddie Stubbs]

28. They were accurate two weeks ago

[Freddie Stubbs]

46. The CT numbers were pretty close

Kerry 74,570 58%
Edwards 30,508 24%
Lieberman 6,655 5%
Dean 5,118 4%
Kucinich 4,087 3%
Sharpton 3,155 3%
Uncommitted 971 1%

[Freddie Stubbs]

47. The GA numbers were pretty close also

Kerry 288,390 47%
Edwards 256,760 41%
Sharpton 38,473 6%
Dean 11,122 2%
Kucinich 7,617 1%

[Freddie Stubbs]

48. Maryland numbers very close too

Kerry 274,198 60%
Edwards 118,362 26%
Sharpton 20,870 4%
Dean 11,665 2%
Kucinich 8,325 2%
Uncommitted 8,041 2%

[NewYorkerfromMass]

27. Bravo Massachusetts!

and good for Vermonters sticking up for their man.

[Nicholas_J]

29. If these figures hold

Kerry will pick up between 600-650 delegates today, bringing his total up to over 1400, not including superdelegates who will then start endorsing the winner in their state (Kerry's superdelegate count has doubled saince Wisconsin).

[Lexingtonian]

41. maybe even a bit higher

700 to 750 once you account for the 15% rule and California polls yesterday showing Kerry up in a way consistent with the MSNBC numbers, 62-25.

[deminflorida]

39. This is great news for Howard Dean....

it really should mean a cabinet position....he has to be part of this process all the way through to November.

He's the straightest shooter out there are far as slamming Bush and sending him right back to Crawford.

Go Howard!!!

[janx]

45. I don't think Dean will get a cabinet position should the Dems

win in November. The powers that be don't seem to like him very much.
