Kerry Is Winning Fair and Square
Your fellow Democrats are the ones voting for Kerry. If your candidate isn't winning, don't blame John Kerry for it. Kerry doesn't even have the most money in this campaign. Your candidate is losing because your fellow Democrats are voting against him. It's that simple.

To cry foul that Kerry is winning is really just sour grapes.

1. absolutely
Kerry is picking up votes from everywhere. The young, the middle aged, the old, the new voters, the old voters, women, men.

He's building a real coalition of average Americans.

Too bad some on this board fail to see that. Or rather, they do see it and are pissed that their candidate can't do the same thing once the spotlight is on.

2. Would you consider Bush's win against McCain in South Carolina
fair and square? That's the same kind of dirty politics we're looking at. Except it's being practiced by self-professed Democrats.

5. Could it be rep. cross over voters?
I can't believe that Kerry is coming out of no where and winning. His voting for the war and patriot act bothers me a lot.

12. Do all of Dean's supporters compare Dems to Repukes?
Sounds like Nader

14. Harassing phone calls to Dean supporters in the middle of the night
Pretending to be from the Dean campaign...

robo-calls designed to annoy our supporters...

What's not fair and square about that?

3. 61%
of NH voters, voted against Kerry!
OMG he should just pack it up! Why is he still running?

:shrug:

Can we just wait until at least the middle of Feb to say the election is wrapped up?

4. nah its over folks
It's not just that Kerry won, it's that he STOMPED Dean and the rest of the field.

HE came from 30 freakin' points down a month ago to winning by 13.

That's a 43-point improvement.

And there is no way Dean's catching him. I mean, if anti-war voters in the first two states don't go for the anti-war candidate, that should be a reality check for Dean supporters.

And if Kerry wins South Carolina, Edwards is doomed and might as well start lining up to kiss Kerry's tookas to be his vp.

9. Let's see how Kerry does in a state where Al Sharpton is really
running a campaign.

You guys think Al is a joke all the time. If you lived in New York you wouldn't feel that way.

I have no liking for the man whatsoever but I have no illusions as to his ability. He is a dynamo and as he moves from church to church across SC he's cutting the legs out from under the "frontrunners" while nobody is paying attention.

If he does well in SC and Delaware AND Florida (lots of blacks are a little pissed about how their community was screwed over in 2000, and over how Kerry decided we should all get over it) the convention should be a lot of fun.

Well, maybe not for John Kerry and the establishment insiders. Oh, I forgot! Veteran New England Senator Kerry is an outsider this week, not to mention a biker and a hockey player and the guy who won the Nam.

Welcome to the wonderful world of frontrunning, Junior Senator Kerry!

HooYah!

16. A question
Why is that you think no other states should be allowed to vote in the primaries? And if Kerry is so unbeatable, why are you so afraid to let the primary continue?

Man, there are some people here who just hate participatory democracy...

I hope you were saying the same thing when Dean was ahead everywhere
and not complaining about the media propping him up.

8. will you admit there's a difference?
Between Dean being propped up by his own fundraising and endorsements, and Kerry being propped up because he's actually WINNING elections?
