Dean Scrambles in the North to Remain Relevant

[rodbarnett]

SUPERIOR, Wis. (Reuters) - Former Democratic front-runner Howard Dean scrambled in the North to remain a relevant force on Tuesday and the focus of the 2004 Democratic presidential race zeroed in on the South.

U.S. Sen. John Kerry rolled toward anticipated victories in the Virginia and Tennessee primaries while Dean scoured Wisconsin for votes to reinvigorate his faltering campaign.

"I want to hear Wisconsin's voice for real change in America," Dean told a town-hall style meeting of more than 1,000 people gathered at a middle school, as he opened the second day of an eight-day barnstorming tour across the state.

Still looking for his first victory in a state presidential contest following a dozen defeats, the former Vermont governor is pinning his hopes on Wisconsin's Feb. 17 primary.

A poll of likely Wisconsin voters released this week showed Dean 33 percentage points behind Kerry, the Massachusetts senator who replaced him as the party's front-runner.

4. Is the CA Primary Still Winner-Take-All?

at one time, it was referred to as "the all-important winner-take-all California primary," and was considered a knockout punch for winning the nominatino. But I have a feeling it changed a while ago.
