After Iowa and New hampshire, I predict....

[Bread and Circus]

It will be Dean, Kerry, Clark, and Edwards from here on out.

Frankly, I think the rest should bow out gracefully if they do
not place well or don't show promise in future states. At some
point, we need some focus. The Primary season has resembled
a nine ring circus for far too long. Folks that can't win should
give a nice speech and endorse/campaign for someone if they
want to retaina voice.

Egos need to be put aside for the ultimate goal. We
need strength, reason, and solidarity.

Dean will go the distance no matter what -- he's got the money
and polls well past NH. This is really going to
come down to who the party rallies around to oppose and end
Dean's run. It could be Kerry, Clark, or Edwards. I cannot
predict who it will be but I'd be damned if I didn't like
all three (and I do). Ultimately when it is down to Dean vs.
the non-Dean, I think Dean will lose. If I was pressed to
guess, I think it will be Clark or Kerry (if Kerry gets enough
mo' from IA and NH -- right now he's not polling so well post
NH). But, Kerry has proven that he can connect (even if at
the 11th hour). I'd love to have 100% surity about Clark,
but all I can say is that we Dems are a fickle bunch and there
is a lot of anti-Military sentiment in the party. Both of those
things we need to fix for long term success. Edwards is the
embodiment of the "middle class" values that the Dem party is
all about. He's also a good speaker, good looking, fresh, and
likeable. You just can't count him out.

I gotta thank Dean for getting us to yell at Bush but I think
that would've happened anyways. The time was ripe for it. But I,
like many, don't give two hoots about the IWR vote. What matters
is who has the character, courage, and skills to lead us from
here on out. Clark and Kerry have my vote.

1. Dean has the orgainzation in ALL states and a base he can repeatedly

draw from for funding...he has the endorsements...and he has "new voters" to compliment his message that is received so well by all that have joined.

We need this "grass roots effort" to thwart the Rove media.

2. The media wants Kerry, so Kerry will be the nominee

I'm more certain of it than ever. unfortunatly, Kerry sucks the charisma right out of a room, and will turn off many members of our base with his IWR and patriot act votes.He's "establishment" and a Skull and Bonesman, therefore he'll be our guy. There's no way the "powers that be" will allow an outsider like Dean to be the nominee (too much like McCain).

3. I will keep hope alive until the last

flicker of the candle is gone. This movement might be something that the powers that be cannot stop.
