AP : Democratic Presidential Race Down to Two

[rodbarnett]

MIDDLETON, Wis. - The Democratic presidential campaign is spreading out to 10 crucial "Super Tuesday" states, and it's down to a two-man race between front-runner John Kerry (news - web sites) and a plucky challenger, John Edwards (news - web sites).


Tuesday's Wisconsin primary set the stage for the March 2 contests. Kerry emerged again as the victor, Edwards is still in the race after a surprisingly close second place finish and Howard Dean (news - web sites)'s candidacy appeared doomed after he came in a distant third.


"The voters of Wisconsin sent a clear message," Edwards said. "The message was this: Objects in your mirror may be closer than they appear."

1. True

It's hard to deny the obvious. Kerry has won 15 out of 17 and of the challengers left Edwards is the only one getting any traction. Dean will likely pack it in soon, and Kucinich and Sharpton aren't even blimps on the radar screen.

2. Well, ummm, with Dean out, isn't it true? nt
