"Howard Dean has brought so much to this race -- not just his ideas and passion for change, but hundreds of thousands of Americans who had never participated in a campaign before. Howard has been a powerful voice for change, and I share his belief that special interests and Washington lobbyists have taken over our government. This is the year for Democrats to take it back -- not for our Party, but for our country.
"Howard Dean has energized and revolutionized this race, and excited a whole new generation of young Americans. He deserves our thanks and so much credit for what he has accomplished. I hope he continues to offer his ideas, and encourages millions more to participate in this democracy so we win back the White House in November."
Kerry had one also, but Edwards' was better. Either way, at least they both have staked a claim to the idea that the party needs the energy, vitality, and creativity of the Dean supporters for the forthcoming campaign.
Parenthetically, kudos to Dean for specifically telling his supporters not to bolt to an independent or third-partyy candidate.
It's pretty clear that both of them are courting Dr. Dean and his supporters. It is interesting that, even though Dr. Dean didn't win, he may now be in a position to essentially pick the winner, if his followers remain loyal and engaged.
I'm personally undecided between the final two Democratic candiates. But my goal, like many in this country, is a simple one and that is to defeat George Bush. I agree that the candidacy is long from decided especially with primaries in powerhouse, delegate-rich states like California, New York and Ohio coming soon.
Edwards' anti-free trade rhetoric is disconcerting to me, because I don't agree with it at all. But I guess it's what you have to say if you want to get elected by a bunch of voters who haven't studied Economics.
Gordo, Edwards' anti-free trade rhetoric is both enormously appealing and "about time" to voters like myself. But then again, I realize not everyone studies Sociology. Free trade economics is all fine and dandy until you learn about all the real people who are getting squeezed.
So, Jack Bog, you don't believe in economics? I find that disconcerting. No supply and demand? No laffer curves? No scales of economy? Whatever shall we do with you?

This definitely is not over.

And for an interesting analysis arguing reasons for the electability of John Kerry see this article from salon.com:

Or if you want to get elected by a bunch of voters who would like to keep their jobs.

Economics is a Republican religion. I won't drink their Kool-Aid.
