Turnout looks pretty good. Weather is holding so far. Cold though.

So far it smells like a close call between Dean and Carrey.

In the 2000 election in Wisconsin, high turnout simply meant that people
were eager to get their free cartons of cigarettes for voting Democrat.

Where the hell were they when we needed them???


Dunno, but the exit poll data is interesting:

The exit poll results, which were based largely on interviews conducted
with voters as they left the polls, showed that about half of voters
considered themselves Democrats, and nearly that many called themselves
independent or "something else." Forty-eight percent said they or
someone else in their household had served in the U.S. military.


(Half Democrats, half indies or something else...really interesting)


About a third said they had finally decided on a candidate within the
past three days, the exit poll results showed. Slightly more than a
third said they chose their candidate because they think he can defeat
President Bush in November. More than half said it was because the
candidate agreed with them on the major issues.

Asked to name the one issue that mattered most in deciding which
candidate to support, the largest number of those polled -- about 30
percent -- cited "health care/Medicare," an issue that Kerry repeatedly
emphasized. About a fifth said their biggest concern was the economy and
jobs, while a similar share said it was the war in Iraq.

About eight in ten said they were very or somewhat worried about the
direction of the nation's economy in the next few years.

Nearly two-thirds said they disapproved of the U.S. decision to go to
war with Iraq, and about seven in ten said they felt the war did not
make American safer from terrorism.



ALL issues on which Bush is very, very vulnerable. If Kerry is the
nominee, he'll have Bush on the run from the get-go.

This is, truly, a race to be watched. Pres. Bush is wise enough to
realize that this may not be a cakewalk.... and from the Clinton

As long as the candidate isn't from my home state... I'll at least
listen..... I've seen enough not to beat the drum loudly for GW as I
did in the last election.....


You might be interesting in knowing that Kerry is not nearly as liberal
as the label the neocons are trying to lay over him.

I think Kerry will unite the party and it will get behind him, and even
Democrats who were not supporting him will.

I'm reminded of Lane Kirkland's comments on Walter Mondale. Kirkland,
the former head of the AFL-CIO, was not a fan of Mondale. But when it
became obvious Mondale was going to be the nominee, Kirkland said "We'll
find things to admire about Mondale that even his mother didn't know."

Don't try to dance to that music. Kerry's voting record for years has been
a virtual duplicate of Kennedy's. Some folks here think Ted Kennedy is the
conservative one. I bet TK doesn't hear that too often!

Mayor and cronies have raised taxes to rebuild the bold new sewer of the

found its way into Herr Mayor's (daddy's) oil, concrete, construction,
and retail corporations.

Pure bigotry, what else?

The hatred of the Religious Right for President Jimmy Carter shows that
they are neither religious nor right. Jimmy Carter is an outstanding
example of Christian ethics and principles in action. There is nobody on
the "religious" right who walks the walk like Carter does... and has,
all his life.

He may not have been a great President... IMHO the fiasco at Desert One
has overshadowed a lot of his positive accomplishments... but he is a
great man... and that _bothers_ them.

You guys up there did good, Clams. Don't know if Kerry was your
choice, but he's the one I'd have picked. I would have liked to see
Edwards get a better turnout, at the expense of Clark (especially) and
Dean. But, all in all you guys did pretty good.

From what I saw Edwards got a lot of write in votes on the VP side of the
ballot.
And let's face it, to have a prayer of carrying the south, Damn Yankees like
Kerry or Dean will need his ass in the VP slot. To me that's a no-brainer.

What's fascinating to ponder as the primary season develops is this: in
both Iowa and NH, Al Gore took a slap with each percentage point that Dean
faded. Likewise in NH, Gen. Clark, the Clintons' stalking horse, went
nowhere at all.

In essence, the top echelon of the Democrat Party has thus far been
repudiated by Democrat voters. Many states to go, but an interesting start.
