Dean Says He Can Win New Mexico

[Rowdyboy]

"Democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean predicted on Monday he could win New Mexico despite having all but given up hope a victory in any of the seven states that hold nominating contests on Tuesday"

Another quote: "...the money is rolling in, that's never been a proble..."

Obviously, the candidate remains optimistic. Glad, at least, that contributions are still coming in. I firmly believe that all money given to a Democrat, any Democrat, is money well spent.

5. Dean can win

didn't already 20000 ballots been cast in new mexico mostly for dean? So he has a chance. we'll see tomorrow.

8. You know ahead of time?

The ballots will be mostly for Dean? Were results released? It would be weird if they were released before the primary.

On edit: added "released before the primary"

9. That was my question too...

13. They were ballots sent by us

to Dean supporters in New Mexico. It seems reasonable to assume they were cast for him.

[janx]

14. Wonderful! I did not know this.

Of all of the states voting tomorrow, I imagined NM would be Dean's best shot.

[Jerseycoa]

22. I see nt

18. 27,000 absentee ballots were cast. Clark and Dean did well with that

Our phone calling suggested that Clark was doing better than Dean with the absentee voting. In fact out of 1,400 people at one point Clark was getting over 50% of the absentee vote.

10. Is a Third Place Finish a "Win" For Dean?

[ModerateMiddle]

27. not a win, but

if he clears the 15% hurdle, he'll get a delegate or so.

[Rowdyboy]

11. New try to post the link

There, that's better. Sorry about the screwup.

12. Your thread name does not reflect what he is saying

Hes saying he CAN win. He didn't say, "I predict I will win" Those are two different things.

[Rowdyboy]

21. Headline changed to meet your objection

This is just a thread, not an attempt to be rude or nasty.

Hope this is more accurate.

15. NM is a caucus state ?

I didn't know that...What other states have caucuses tomorrow??

[TSIAS]

16. I think ND is a caucus

The rest would be primaries.

[lancdem]

17. North Dakota, I think

[Quixote1818]

20. They call it a caucus but it's basicaly a primary

[MoonRiver]

19. He's only 16 points behind! I think he can do it by tomorrow!

:D

[BeatleBoot]

23. I like Dean

:7

[janx]

24. How sweet!

Dean was joined onstage Friday by Albuquerque Mayor Martin Chavez, Sandia Pueblo Gov. Stuwart Paisano and former New Mexico Gov. Toney Anaya, who have all endorsed Dean.

[janx]

25. I hope he got the chance to taste some posole when he

was there. It's normally most popular around the holidays, but there was probably some around...

[Anwen]

26. God that would be great

if he could pull off a win there! :bounce:

28. Dean will do very well in New Mexico

I think. I am not a supporter of his but I believe he get a least a second.
