New Data
First of all, thanks to the blogosphere. I slept in today and didn't watch MTP but from what I understand I didn't miss much and Bush managed to underperform even my own low expectations. So much for misunderestimating.
Got new data from the Michigan and Washington caucuses reflected at left. As you can see, Kerry, not-Kerry and un-allocated all have about an equal amount. As Kaus notes it still is plausible that someone other than Kerry could emerge as the nominee. As favorable as Super Tuesday is to Kerry, at this point, assuming a Southern (Clark/Edwards) alternative emerges the post-Super Tuesday calendar in March (FL, Miss, LA, TX, KS, WY, IL) seems to lean to that anti-Kerry. If he emerges.
Another thing to think about: It seems that all the talk about the 'electability' focus of voters really only applies to that specific Democratic primary voter who was only deciding between Dean and Kerry. Those voters who've switched from Dean have made the right choice (in my opinion) but (also my opinion here) voters backing Clark, Sharpton, Lieberman and Gephardt have shown no such enlightenedness in not backing Edwards instead. Ha, is that too much favoritism for you?

Woa!!! What a windbag! The last time I saw such an orgy of inarticulate nonsense was when I watched Richard Nixon attempt to "detail" the "lack" of military advisors in Cambodia. Once again our fearful mis-leader has proven that he is still an airhead. I guess stealing an election and running an economic superpower into the toilet isn't a guarantee of healthy elocution. BARF!

Wow. Everyone intelligent seems to like Edwards -- you, Kaus. Why are democratic voters in general such sheep?
Grr.
