God knows I love Howard almost beyond reason, but we have to to stop the train wreck a Kerry nomination will be.

As more and more states show Kerry seriouly beginning to defeat Bush, and as the only democratic candidate who can beat Bush, ow beating Bush in 7 out of the 9 states that hold half of the electoral votes, the only thing that derailing the Kerry nomination will do is totally asure a Bush win in November. When Dean was in the lead, Bush was a winner in those those 7 states, and Edwards is still behind Bush all of those 9 states. Half of the electoral votes are in California, New York, Texas, Florida, Michigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio. and I think North Carolina, where Bush leads Edwards significantly. Kerry beats Bush in 7 of these states, and Edwards does not looks likely to even carry his own state. Around the world, the news media is talking about the worries of the Bush adminstration over a Kerry nomination. For all Dean money raising, he could not garner at most a fifth of the electorate, and when you put both Dean and Edwrds togther, in most states so far, Kerry has picked up more electotal votes than both togetther. Polls for the upcoming states do not look like that mix will change much. Like it or not there are now only two possibilities Kerry or Bush. Anything that does not have Kerry in it leads only to Bush.

Nader said the Kucinich was the Dmocratic candidate who was most similar to him. That Kerry was the most electable candidate who was like him. In the same speech he mentioned Dean, but only in an aside, as a candidate who has attracted the young. But gave no indications that he approved of Deans policy. Edwards was not mentioed at all. It is unlikely that Nader will endorse two people he hardly gave any political recognition to at all.

5. I'd vote for that ticket. |

The best way to make it happen is to volunteer for, vote for, and donate to John Edwards.

With Dean's grassroots campaigning and all the donations he got I am sure it will be a strong ticket.
