Last dems standing-From the heart of downtown Detroit

Will there be any viable Democratic presidential candidates other than Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry remaining by the time Michigan Dems caucus this Saturday? We ask this question just prior to going to press Monday evening, not knowing how the seven-state showdown on Tuesday has panned out. News Hits’ own highly unscientific survey at a Saturday night party found that it’s Kerry all the way, not because of his policies but rather his perceived electability. The overarching sentiment is ABB (as in Anybody But Bush), with even one of our most diehard Libertarian pals saying he so fears our prez that he’s willing to commit the sacrilege of voting for a Dem this time around. If, by some odd turn of events, Howard Dean is still breathing by the time you read this, a Michigan win will be crucial. So there could be some drama. Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich, who pretty much wipes up last place everywhere (Why is it the candidates News Hits like always wipe up last place?), has vowed to stay in it until the end. So those true believers willing to support the most under of dogs will have the chance to show their support no matter what.

Whatever the outcome of Super Tuesday, you’re still going to vote, right?

1. No matter what the outcome...
I will still vote and if necessary, I can use the write in part of my ballot.

2. Metro Times always a good read
Wish Michigan got more attention, even if it's a lock for Kerry. By far the most delegate votes of any state so far (128), and it is a vital state for the Dems in the fall. Can't win in November without Michigan.
