Reply #20: Looks like Kerry can do it after all! [View All]

[DemBones DemBones]

This is from Josh Marshall at TPM:

"Today Zogby has John Kerry opening up a five point lead over Howard Dean and Richard Gephardt in Iowa. The numbers:   Kerry 24%, Dean 19%, Gephardt 19%, Edwards 17%.

Even more interesting however are the ARG numbers out of New Hampshire. Today's numbers there are Dean 28%, Clark 23%, Kerry 16%"

"But, again, Kerry is the bigger story. He's moved up a point or two a day each day this week. And the internals on those numbers tell an interesting tale. As the ARG analysis says: "The drop in ballot preference for Howard Dean has stabilized and women voters who have switched from Dean are giving John Kerry a lift at the expense of Wesley Clark."

In other words, Dean has lost support. And most of it has gone to Clark so far. But Clark is having a real problem getting female voters who leave Dean to come to him. And they're going to Kerry."

It's beginning to look as if the bumper sticker that's been around for a couple of months or more is prophetic. That's the one that says "Dated Dean, Married Kerry."
