Almost twice as much as his nearest opponent.

1. AZ results in there?

or ??

[Freddie Stubbs]

2. Not yet,

but Kerry won that state, so his lead will increase.

10. "Not Kerry" leading in Democratic nomination process

Kerry has 244 delegates at present, 11% of what he needs to lock the nomination. "Not Kerry" has 334 delegates.

At this rate, Kerry won't be able to reach the needed delegate target without another candidate dropping out or committing his delegates to Kerry.

We need a 3- or 4-man race to July.

[Freddie Stubbs]

12. He is rising at a faster rate than any other candidate

If he continues at this rate, he will be the nominiee.

14. 9% of what he needs.

Or, IOW, 95.5% of our delegates have NOT been chosen yet. I'm not jumping on THAT small of a wagon, band wagon or not.
