John Kerry (news - web sites) battled John Edwards (news - web sites) from New York to California in a 10-state show of strength Tuesday, seeking to shove his last major rival from the race and claim the Democratic presidential nomination.
Pre-election polling gave Kerry an edge in almost every Election Day venue as he sought a lion's share of the victories to make Edwards' presidential bid a political, if not quite a mathematical, impossibility. Kerry was already pivoting toward a general-election fight with President Bush (news - web sites).
"Boy, wait until you see the fire in my belly," he told a TV interviewer.
The pair spent part of the day in Georgia, with Kerry looking ahead to November.
"President Clinton (news - web sites) was often known as the first black president. I wouldn't be upset if I could earn the right to be the second," he told the American Urban Radio Network.

Can anyone give me a clue as to where to find percentage rate breakdowns on exactly how many blacks are registered voters, how many gays, how many unmarried women between the ages of 14-25 (abortion likely). If these do not add up to a very sizable cut of the pie, why in hell is my government being chosen on the basis of these groups having more importance in the election than me?

"Boy, wait until you see the fire in my belly," he told a TV interviewer. I hope by the third Tuesday of November it's a raging ulcer.

Hey, Kerry is more qualified than Clinton was. After all, he has an African-American wife.
Hm.
Does that make Clinton the first Hobo president because he's married to a tramp?

Black conservative ping
If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)
Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

After he claimed to be Jewish he said he had "Matzoh Balls." As one poster said, Clinton was dangerous because he was charming. Kerry's policies are worse, but he's an @sshole. He reminds me of Woodrow Wilson. Both left-wing, self-righteous elite prigs. Both horse-faces.
