Waiting to exhale
Just about 7:30 in NH and I'm dying to see how big a roll Dean's yeeaawaghh! will play in the primaries. I've been a Clark/Edwards guy for a while...but I'm taking a second look at Kerry. While I certainly don't think that Dean is done, I think that his journey to White House has taken a big detour. But I'm sure the numerous tv spots that Dean is doing (Sawyer, Late Show, The Daily Show, etc.) will help keep his name around for a while.

So I was a Dean guy for a while there (and maybe I still am - I am sooo confused!). I like his moxie and I like his views on military agression - he is nowhere near as hawkish as some (all?) of the others.
After wins in IA and NH, I am definitely going to take another look at Kerry, who always struck me as kind of a stick in the mud. But if Iowans can identify with this guy, then I must have missed something.
Posted by: ripple at January 28, 2004 07:05 AMYeah, I know a lot of folks who are Dean or Edwards supporters but very few who admit to being Kerry backers. I think that after these two, dare I say "suprising" early victories, more people will look at Kerry. However, the real question is: will these new backers come from Dean. I don't really think so. From Clark, Edwards and Leiberman, yes. And that might just be enough for Kerry.
