LATE AFTERNOON EXIT POLLS SHOW JOHN EDWARDS PULLING A STRONG SHOWING AGAINST JOHN KERRY, TOP MEDIA AND CAMPAIGN SOURCES TELL DRUDGE... KERRY 42%, EDWARDS 31%, DEAN 15%... DEVELOPING...

[Sir Valentino]

Looks like Kerry is going *DOWN*. His *AFFAIR* may have been the last *STRAW*.

[KevinDavis]

Looks like there is going to be a fight between Breck Girl and Botox boy. Dean is done.

[babaloo]

Kerry's support a mile wide and an inch deep. Same thing they were saying about Dean before he imploded.

[areafiftyone]

That's sad. I kinda feel sorry for Dean. He kinda got a bad rap from the press after that primal scream.

[WI Conservative 4 Bush]

Well, I did my best to prop Dean up there. Still, voting dem made me feel icky.

[mewzilla]

Wonder what rurnout is like. Bet it's lousy. See Johnny still polls under 50%

[SamAdams76]

If Howard Dean had dropped out and endorsed Edwards, his 15% would make all the difference.

rurnout=turnout

(I'm channelling Scooby Doo apparently)

That's sad. I kinda feel sorry for Dean. He kinda got a bad rap from the press after that primal scream.

And after spending all those millions of dollars for it....

[dfwgator]

At least it looks like Nader is running again.

[eureka!]

The Rat voters are going to be very confused when the presstitutes starts telling them the most electable candidate is looking like a loser. Methinks there is a Kennedy v. Clinton battle for the DNC happening. As such, watch for more 'Toon knives to fly into Ketchup Boy Toy...

[BlessedByLiberty]

Exactly - another media driven "grassroots support" campaign!

Kerry's own record is the dagger to his Presidential ambitions.

Is this the "doctored" photo I've heard about?

[Dante3]

While I disagree with a great many of Dean's positions, IMHO he is more honest than Kerry or Edwards. For some reason the term "empty suit" keeps coming to mind every time Edwards' name crops up. As for Kerry, he is just disgusting. His lies will cost him votes and so will his "war record."

[Paleo Conservative]

If Howard Dean had dropped out and endorsed Edwards, his 15% would make all the difference.

But that assumes the Dean voters would automatically support Ewards just because of Dean's endorsement. Even if Edwards got 2/3rds of the Dean vote, Kerry would still win.

Speaking of Ketchup Boy, did anyone catch Limbaugh today talking about a BBC/Compost story by some guy named Glen Frankel. Or maybe Frankel was quoted in the piece. Apparently between yesterday and today, the BBC edited out a paragraph in the story that mentioned why the WP wouldn't print a story about Kerry's infidelity even if it had pics. The BBC left the article's time stamp alone and never mentioned that the article had been edited. That paragraph just vanished down the memory hole. Except that Limbaugh has a copy of both versions. Anyone seen the story Limbaugh's talking about posted on FR?

[McGruff]

Is this the "doctored" photo I've heard about?

No, this one is real.

Remember with these zealots its all electability. Perhaps if Kerry's electability is challenged, we will see another candidate arise.
