A Primary Dean Might Win...
By Byron LaMasters
Is the Democrats Abroad Primary. Democrats Abroad send 22 delegates to the convention this summer. Today is the final day of caucuses around the world, and in early returns, Dean and Kerry are running closely.
In the Toyko caucus, Howard Dean won with 69 votes, with 51 for John Kerry and 29 uncommitted.
Howard Dean also won the Sweden caucus (no numbers on this one).
Interestingly, John Kerry won the Paris caucus by a landslide. Kerry received 310 votes to 87 for Dean and 59 for Clark.
As with many other primaries and caucuses, Democrats Abroad's caucus turnout is breaking records everywhere.
Update: From the Expats for Dean site are results from around the world.
John Kerry won the Amsterdam caucus and will have 5 delegates with 2 for Dean and 1 for Clark.
Howard Dean won with 48% of the vote in the Switzerland caucus (1.5 delegates for Dean, 1 for Kerry and .5 uncommitted).
John Kerry won the Ireland caucus with Dean and Edwards tied for second (1/2 delegate for Kerry, 1/4 delegate for Dean and Edwards).
John Kerry won a majority of the vote the delegate at the Hong Kong caucus.
John Kerry won the Mexico caucus and received two delegates with one for Edwards.
John Kerry won the Germany caucus by two votes over Dean and they will split Germany's two delegates.
Anyway, it looks like Kerry will probably win a majority among Democrats Abroad, but it's still early.

How can this be? After all, Democrats living abroad have the same values as those living here, right?
The candidates are the same, and have the same resources, right?
Democrats abroad see the same news as everyone else, right? Oh, wait....
