February 03, 2004Tonight's Final ResultsBy Byron LaMastersGreat night for Kerry. Yeah a sweep would have been nice for him, but having Clark win OK and Edwards win SC is better than if Edwards would have swept the two (although I was pulling for Edwards in OK). Now, both Kerry and Edwards will compete in Virginia and Tennessee, probably splitting the anti-Kerry vote, possibly giving Kerry a good shot at both. Up north, Kerry's looking good in Michigan, where the unions are likely to jump on board, and Gov. Granholm will put her people to work for Kerry, and he should have a spirited campaign against Dean in Washington and Maine (although I'd put my money on Kerry). So here's the final returns from CNN (candidates receiving 5% or more are listed):
Total Projected Delegates for today: John Kerry: 113 So who do I support now? Still undecided. I'd like to see Edwards and Kerry go at it for a few weeks before we coronate Kerry, but we'll see. Posted by Byron LaMasters at February 3, 2004 11:52 PM | TrackBackComments
A good analysis and hopefully a matchup between at least two, three or four candidates that will continue until at least March 9. As the Chair of the Texas Democratic Party I really want these candidates in Texas campaigning (Florida also). I will personally welcome all of the candidates to Texas and stand up with them as any one being far superior to GWB as president. As many know our primaries were pushed back a week from Super Tuesday because the Bush lackies don't like people saying bad things about their boys in their home states. Hey George and Jeb, the truth hurts but nowhere near as bad as the economic hurt you have inflicted on the country, your nonstop assault on human rights, voters rights, women's rights, environmental rights, students rights to an education, your attempted destruction of the constitution, the lives lost of good and decent mean and women through the ill advised and misrepresented war. You know what George, if someone were to judge you through today on what you have done to our country in the guise of serving as a President you would be rated a complete and absolute failure except for all of those that you and Cheney have made rich. The story is that all of the mirrors in the White House are being taken down because GWB can't look himself in the eye. Keep up the good work, Charles, Chairman of the Texas Democratic Party Posted by: charles at February 4, 2004 06:45 AMHow does Sharpton win a delegate in DE with 6% and Dean win delegates in AZ with 14%? I thought DNC rules were that you had to win 15% to win delegates? Posted by: RL at February 4, 2004 12:31 PMI believe that you have to win 15% in a particular district of a state. In Texas you have to win 15% in a Senatorial District in order to elect a delegate from that district to the National Convention. Posted by: Dave at February 4, 2004 12:54 PMPost a comment
