Nice to see Kerry kick major ass

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

Wrapping this thing up early is a great advantage in the GE.

Hope he picks Edwards or Graham for VP.

[EllieDem]

1. I agree

Whooo Whooo! But don't expect the others in here to share in our enthusiasm. The sour grapes are wall to wall

[PVnRT]

3. So, I guess it's sour grapes

To want votes in states not named New Hampshire to actually count. Who needs democracy, anyway?

[lovedems]

Thank you. As a person who lives in Illinois, I would like to vote

for my candidate on March 16th. I want my vote to count. Thank you.

[Melodybe]

7. I am mad about this, many are!

It is not sour grapes it is anger!

Kerry is the weakest of the big three and all of the clark, Edwards, and Dean people know it. We need someone that is actually going to fight for the little guy, Kerry is not going to do it! Business as usual!

[Zynx]

2. Kerry will be a much weaker candidate than you think.

This is very depressing.

[killbotfactory]

5. Yep. Just wait until they unleash the hounds on Kerry

He has more faces than Michael Jackson.

[MrBenchley]

13. Face the facts

They will "unleash the hounds" on whoever the Democratic nominee is.

Governor AWOL ran an utterly scummy campaign in 2000...he's not going to change this time around.

[killbotfactory]

21. Well they've already done so with Dean

He took all the hits up until now.

And he's still doing better than every other candidate except Kerry.

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

22. You seem gleeful to criticize our nominee.

Consider how JK compares to Bush.

[Zynx]

23. I don't see this white knight that you see.

I see darkness and defeat in John Kerry. He will not fire up the base and he will not get swing voters in the end.

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

29. No offense, I disagree

The base will be fired up by definition. Democrats/Liberals/Mod Independents will automatically vote for Kerry.

We need independents and republicans. The extreme liberal "base" amouts to shit.

[Hippo_Tron]

31. Well they amount to shit until Ralph Nader runs...

Then we have to run a campaign that appeals to both sides.

[isbister]

25. Re: Just wait

There are some big differences between this front-runner and the last.

- Kerry has seen most, if not all, of the dirt the Republicans/Corporate Media will throw at him and he's got the responses all ready... sitting in a file drawer somewhere.

- He's been in the national spotlight on a number of occasions and albeit it under different circumstances, he didn't wilt.

- He's been in politics and understands how it works. He will not be gaffe free but he is less likely to make a major one, or two, ot three... The chance of his getting into a gaffe-a-day streak is extremely unlikely.

- Has had a close-up view of Presidential politics on a number of occasions.

- He's level-headed and America needs a President that can be level-headed, not hot headed (or apple-headed like the guy in the White House)

10. Kerry will be a much stronger candidate than you think.

This is very exciting!

[Zynx]

14. B.S.

He is at his peak, it will only get worse. He has a lot of crap in his closet that will hurt him badly.

[Melodybe]

20. Dean has a better record for helping people!

[isbister]

26. Yeah

Enron, IBM, OMYA, Wal-Mart, Home Depot

[Anwen]

17. It is depressing.

I can think of so many reasons why Kerry is a weaker candidate than Dean. It's not sour grapes. It's reality.

[Melodybe]

4. i would like him more if he fessed up that his war vote was wrong!

i would like him a whole lot more if he wouldn't steal lines from Dean and Edwards. Edwards said Bring it on first and now it is Kerry's motto!?!:wtf:

Kerry is making idle promises and he knows it. This makes me very mad, I want a change in Washington, I don't just want someone to tell me that they are going to change it. Kerry is as inside as it gets and he can not escape the truth!

[Feanorcurufinwe]

6. Sour grapes.

[Melodybe]

16. Anger, Kerry did not deserve the win!

People are being mis-informed, the only reason won is becasue people are buying the sacks of BS that the media is feeding them!

No my friend this is not sour grapes, this is us pointing out the the Blandest, safest candidate won. The Democrat will win anyway! People are out in record #'s b/c they are mad at George Bu$h!

I want someone that is going America better! Not just someone that promises to!

[blm]

8. You don't know John Kerry.

.

[goobergunch]

15. Do you? (n/t)

[EllieDem]

9. Speaking of stealing lines

the whole "Take Our Country Back" comes from the opposition party of an election Dean was in back in Vermont when they used the "Take Vermont Back" (and they meant take it away from Dean) I don't think many Deaniacs know this.

[goobergunch]

12. It was actually "Take Back Vermont" (n/t)

[isbister]

18. Didn't bush use "Bring it on" first?

And which condition the Congress put upon the President in the IWR do you most disagree with?

11. 2162 Delegate Votes are needed to nominate

Kerry currently has an estimated 98 after tonight (I'll do a full calculation tomorrow).

[bobbyboucher]

19. Kerry is a solid candidate,

but so are the others. Let's wait and see. I know you would like it to be over, but so would the Repubes. That way they could concentrate on Kerry.

A tightly contested race is great. Just no more debates. Until with the monkey that is.

[EllieDem]

24. Bush is starting to look very nervous

after 2 Kerry wins!!!!

[bobbyboucher]

27. I think Bush is just plain afraid

to have to go out and campaign on his shoddy record. So is Rove. He has the toughest job of his slimy career ahead of him.

[atre]

28. Yeah, nervous because he's worried about what he'll say in the Second

Inaugural. I don't see Kerry as having much appeal to swing-voters. Hell, he doesn't even appeal to me.

[bigtree]
