It's already past midnight here, but I'll have to stay awake for Howard Dean's concession speech.

You know I didn't hear his speech until a few days after the fact, and I thought the 'Yeeeah' was a manly yell, I didn't realize it was a voice-cracking girly-scream. Maybe he'll name every state again .

Winston, you're evil.

Not that I'm a Dean supporter, though. By all means, let Kerry win again and end all this madness.

I'll wait till the returns come in myself. I got burned by listening to exit polling in '00.

Dean is by no means dead, over 30% is still a strong second.

The race for third place will also be significant in determing who remains viable.

Which you won't get. I imagine he'll be mildly upbeat.

This is good news for Dean as everyone expected him to come about 15 points behind Kerry. Third place would have had him out, a strong second showing is what they were hoping for after the Iowa result. It puts him on the rebound when the appearance was that his campaign had collapsed.

If Edwards wins as predicted in SC, Kerry in Missouri and Dean in Arizona and New Mexico (again, as the polls show right now) it's anyone's game.

Apparently the next big test is Wisconsin, which has a day to itself.

I think that this will be a telling primary as well (*PLATO makes note that at long last he agreed with Agathon on Something*)

What? I'm far from an expert with regards to American politics but how could Dean not be a huge, remarkable disappointment by now? I mean, he was the grand favourite and even managed to obtain the endorsement of Al Gore, one of the most significant politicians of modern times..?

So, is Lieberman out?

Not yet. If he manages to pull off third place, he'll be a fine position to take his campaign nationally. If he finishes say, 5th, he is pretty much dead.

Okay, I imagine Al Gore couldn't possibly be the tie-breaker of the game but still, he was VP throughout 8 years so in some way, I guess he remains a significant politician.
