So THAT'S how we end up with clowns like Clinton in the White House.

No, we get clowns like Clinton in office because of perception.

"I don't care who wins" the Democratic primary, said Judy Donovan of Tucson, Ariz. "I'd get my dog to run. I'm not kidding. I would get Mickey Mouse in there. Anybody but Bush.'"

Glad to hear a principled Democrat speak up.

Clark gives us a classic as well:

"This could be over. It could be a long way from over, and it could be impacted tomorrow by something we don't know about."

Almost sounds like our Mayor Daley.

Why would you excerpt an AP story and then place it in Breaking News?

Inadvertently, the Donovan woman expresses the root problem with the world's best political system. Forget that it's Bush for a minute, 43% would vote for the Manson/Brawley (Charles/Tawana) RAT ticket, guaranteed!

By RON FOURNIER, AP Political Writer

Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry (news - web sites) rolled up big victories and a pile of delegates in five states Tuesday night, while rivals John Edwards (news - web sites) and Wesley Clark (news - web sites) kept their candidacies alive with singular triumphs in a dramatic cross-country contest.

Edwards easily won his native South Carolina and Clark, a retired Army general from Arkansas, eked out victory in neighboring Oklahoma. Howard Dean (news - web sites) earned no wins and perhaps no delegates, his candidacy in peril. Joe Lieberman (news - web sites) was shut out, too, and dropped out of the race.

"It's a huge night," Kerry told The Associated Press, even as rivals denied him a coveted sweep.

Racking up victories in Missouri, Arizona, North Dakota, New Mexico and Delaware, Kerry suggested that his rivals were regional candidates.

"I compliment John Edwards, but I think you have to run a national campaign, and I think that's what we've shown tonight," the four-term Massachusetts senator said. "You can't cherry-pick the presidency."

With Iowa and New Hampshire already in his pocket, Kerry boasts a record of 7-2 in primary season contests, the undisputed front-runner who had a chance to put two major rivals away but failed.

An AP analysis showed Kerry winning 65 pledged delegates, Edwards 43, Clark five and Al Sharpton (news - web sites) one, with 155 yet to be allocated. Kerry's wins in Missouri and Arizona were the night's biggest prizes, with 129 delegates — nearly half of the 269 at stake.

Tuesday's results pushed Kerry close to 200 delegates out of 2,162 needed for the nomination, including the superdelegates of lawmakers and party traditionalists. Dean trailed by nearly 70, Edwards by nearly 100.

Democrats award delegates based on a candidates' showing in congressional districts, giving Kerry's rivals a chance to grab a few delegates even in contests they lost.

I wonder what her posting name on FR is. She sounds just like the pseudo conservatives that Jim Rob flushed down and out of the system this past weekend.

I've actually heard people say exactly that line. Almost went to jail a few times. And these are "Americans?"

John Kerry said this on FOX NEWS tonight:

"Some went off to Canada, some were conscientious objectors, and some joined the National Guard"

I hope that French looking idiot keeps up with this horse hockey, because we have a hell of a lot of Guardsman in harms way right now, and he is disrespecting the many sacrifices our National Guardsman have made for this country over the years. Damn him to hell

He is also poing every reservist who was ready to go into harms way or ended up in harms way, since WWII.

The Marine, Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard reservists as well as National Guard personnel have served honorably in the war against terrorism. That is more that any rat in Congress has done in the war against terrorism.

Well, Kerry is very beatable. This is not the worst news by a long shot.

John Kerry is digging himself a mighty deep hole by making light of the service of our Guardsman and Reservist

Howard Dean (news - web sites) earned no wins and perhaps no delegates, his candidacy in peril.

He'll get delegates almost certainly for New Mexico & maybe Arizona.

The overall will be something like 144 Kerry, 65 Edwards, 44 Clark, 15 Dean (at most), 1 Sharpton.

So when do the Clinton's start submarining Kerry? We know Hillary can't let him win so at what point do they start whacking him in the press?

I'd bet not soon. They will wait for him to peak and then start the tearing down.
