Dean's on another loser rant from a loser...claiming (all those he's a loser) that the Dems changed their ideals because of HIS candidacy!

What an arrogant jerk. I'm sorry the Dems woke up aren't going to nominate this guy!

He should run with Nader!

McCain: Testimony by Kerry and others before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee was "the most effective propaganda [my North Vietnamese captors] had to use against us."

He's a total whack job!

[FreeReign]

How can any poll possibly miss a candidate by 15%??? In Edwards case, Zogby missed nearly HALF of his support!

Voter fraud?

Look at their eyes. The woman behind Dean's head and the guy in front of Deans head... these people are zombies.

J-Frog Kerry. King of the swamp. For a few weeks.

[GiveEmDubya]

There's no way Kerry would look that good in a dress!

[mwl1]

This is a delicious evening. Popping champagne corks at the White House.

[small voice in the wilderness]

Deanial. Just a frickin' whack-job.

[js1138]

Separated at birth?

[AmericanInTokyo]

He seems to be starting to CRY? I think he is losing it. Look at the watery eyes and hear the shaky voice. Psycho. Up the meds.

not saved, but he did do those things. he pulled them all to the left on national security, etc.

As I suspected.

Kerry's whiff of scandal and the Bush AWOL smear did not help him. Looks like Wisconsin has extended the Democratic nomination fight.

Now Edwards can go to the Trials and get more money, while the Clintons may decide to hold back and wait until they decide to play kingmaker. For Kerry, this result is the one nightmare primary result that washes away the momentum he had. Now the critical press will get underway.

If Edwards starts to run the table, Hillary comes in and endorses him in March. Book that. Kerry is a Kennedy client. He is not beholden to the Clintons. Edwards, otoh, is Hillary's bitch, and has been since the Toons helped him win his senate seat in 1998. The Clintons want to make sure that they control the process, not Al Gore, not Teddy, not the Deanies, and certainly not George Soros.

This is excellent news for us.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

[Salvation]

I still think the story that Drudge hinted at has legs. I just think Kerry and Kennedy used money to shut everyone up.

[hole_n_one]

We are not done

Oh yes you are.....
