Howard Dean has won the primaries!! Now, the question is, who will win the president office??? I'm sorry to say, but I feel Bush might get back in We really don't have a strong democrated canidate! Here is the story!! Dean Wins Nonbinding D.C. Primary Associated Press ----------------------------- WASHINGTON - Howard Dean won the nonbinding District of Columbia primary, more a voting-rights rally than a chance to express a preference for one of the major candidates for the Democratic nomination for president. Dean, the former Vermont governor, won Tuesday with 43 percent of the vote. Al Sharpton had 34 percent, Carol Moseley Braun 12 percent and Dennis Kucinich 8 percent. The other five major candidates did not participate. City leaders moved the primary up from May to call attention to the city`s lack of voting rights for its representative in Congress. The Democratic Party insisted that the vote be nonbinding in order to protect the New Hampshire primary`s standing as the first of the season. Caucuses will be held in the district`s eight wards on Feb. 14 to choose delegates to the party convention in July. Turnout was nearly twice as large as in 2000. Twelve percent of registered voters and 16 percent of the city`s 257,000 Democrats cast ballots after city officials promoted voting as a show of support for full representation in Congress. The district`s elected delegate to the House is allowed to vote in committee but has no privileges in the full House. The city has no voting representation in the U.S. Senate. Associated Press

It's too early to call. Dean only won the primaries for DC, so it's still any democrat's game....especially since Kerry seems to be standing out more :? I'm glad Sharpton came in a strong second though

I wouldn't vote for a candidate simply because I think that they have a chance of winning. A lot of people discount Sharpton from the race (including his own party mates). If you listen to what Sharpton has to say, he makes very valid points and brings up very important issues that other candidates tend to ignore. Besides, it's not necessarily about Sharpton winning the Presidential race (although it would be an interesting change). A lot of votes means that the public agrees with his viewpoints. The Democratic candidate that wins the primaries will take notice to the fact that the public holds highly Sharpton's viewpoints and ideas, and take on some of those viewpoints and ideas as their own platform. It might even be in their best interest to give Sharpton a place in their cabinet, considering a considerable amount of people voted for him (it will make them look better). Either way, I see it as a win, win situation.....even if we can't get a Black president, we can at least have important issues brought to the table.

I doubt that you will ever get me to think highly of Bush....especially after that State of the Union address :? What are "weapons of mass destruction programs related material" anyway :?: He could be talking about some AAA batteries for all we know :?

^^^Keeping in mind that I don't believe the war with Iraq is a plan for dealing with ****........the democrats don't seem to have a better plan (if there is one at all). Although the democrats have expressed a need for better foreign relations, we're going to need a little more than that now that we are involved with Iraq. The democrats' main focus is to get our troops out of Iraq and let them rebuild their own country, which may or may not be such a good idea (with all of the different factions growing within that country). I really don't see any candidate (Republican or Democrat) with a structured plan for dealing with ****. Bush has not been able to prove Iraq's links to 9-11 and has yet to find the thousands of WMDs that he clearly stated Iraq possessed. However, he still plans to continue with US involvement with Iraq and on top of that want's to increase the funding for the war. The democratic candidates play on the fact that Americans hate the phrase "increased spending" (especially since that often means either an increase in taxes or a decrease in funding for public programs). So, instead of actually coming up with a semi-valid plan for the current situation, they just suggest that the US wipes its hands clean of a situation we obviously created. Unless we can get the UN to intervene or at least get the help of several key nations, I don't see the Iraq situation getting any better. Although Sharpton agrees with the other democrats that the US should remove troops from Iraq, at least he puts some emphasis on looking beyond the popular propaganda going around and getting a hold of the culprit who actually orchestrated the **** attacks (Bin Laden and members of the Al Queda). The "War on ****" can't be fought properly unless we are fighting the actual terrorists. It's funny how the US is so worried about the "under-developed" countries giving up their WMD programs while we eagerly keep ours up and running and show no concren with our allied superpowers doing the same :? I guess it's that old "make the rich richer by keeping the poor poor" routine.......seems to work every time
