Checking in from rainy, snowy Fauquier county here

My hubby and I are voting for Dean. We WANT him in the race as long as possible so that he can bruise and batter Kerry all he wants. A weaker Kerry helps us down the road.

That's my opinion and I'm sticking with it.

Any freepers eligible in upcoming primaries should vote for Edwards or Dean... we want Kerry to limp to the nomination, battered and broke.

Sound analysis. If Dean starts to pick up any steam, he will stay in the race and rag Kerry to the end. Voting for Edwards won't hurt Kerry as he seems to be the Veep designee. Can't vote for General Ripper as he is Clinton's boy. I would keep Al as a second choice just in case Dean really tanks in Washington this weekend.
