Primaries

It's worrisome that Kerry has had such strong showings in so many states. Kerry's arrogance comes across pretty clearly in his brushing-off of his opponents. It'd be nice if the Democratic nominee was a bit less cocky than Bush. A bit more of a pleasure to vote for than a grim, anyone-but-Bush duty.

Let's face it -- on the scale of Massachusetts Democrats' likablilty, Kerry seems a lot more Michael Dukakis than JFK. Yuck. Let's not forget to whom Dukakis lost.

But two states voted for other candidates, so I guess there's hope yet. The Times seems to give Dean more of a chance in the long run than I would considering his campaign is essentially bankrupt, but who knows. I guess that makes three more-or-less viable opponents as the slate continues to get smaller. I doubt it will get any smaller now until one of the top four drops.
