Super Tuesday’s results<\/a>
\nAnalysts examine Tuesday’s results<\/a> – if Kerry has the minority vote, as the first analyst on this page says, then why are all of the analysts of color talking about Howard Dean?

My vote in NY is still going for Dean<\/a>
\n(my favorite candidate), but I do have to face the fact that he may not be our

\nKerry.<\/a> Don’t believe me? Take a gander at the provided links, and their respective
\n‘on the issues’ pages. Granted, Kerry is a lesser evil to Bush, but why not vote
\nfor someone we want?
\n Extra point: both are southerners (southern vote = happy Democrat). Added bonus: perhaps Clark or Edwards would be willing to take on Dean as a VP…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
