Interesting.....the online poll at MSNBC has Clark in the lead by 4%. Kerry, Dean and Edwards all tied for 2nd.
Whatever happens in November, I hope and pray for my Country that Dean NEVER gets into office. That man is a SAUSAGE!
I am surprised, however, that Dick Gephardt placed where he did. He would have been my man if I were a Democrat. He withdrew completely from the race. Sad, because he is a good man.
Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts won the Iowa Democratic presidential caucuses Monday night, completing an improbable charge in the final days of the first important test of the campaign season.
Kerry and Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina appeared to break away from the rest of the field, running far ahead of former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean and Rep. Dick Gephardt of Missouri. Gephardt will drop out of the race Tuesday, aides told NBC News.
Kerry won the support by 38 percent of caucus-goers with almost all of the state’s 1,993 precincts reporting. Edwards ran a strong second at 32 percent.
Appearing before ecstatic supporters after an introduction by his Massachusetts colleague in the Senate, Edward Kennedy, Kerry thanked Iowans for making him “the comeback Kerry.”
“Now you send me on to New Hampshire ... and I make you this pledge: I have just begun to fight,” he said, adding that he had a message for President Bush: “We’re coming, you’re going, and don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”
Kerry attributed his victory to Iowans’ willingness to ignore pundits who predicted his defeat.
“Iowans were magnificent,” he said in an interview on MSNBC’s “Countdown.” “ ... They were serious. They looked into our eyes. They checked our guts.
