2. So long as he stops playing "Bleed the frontrunner"
He can stay or go.

11. Why should he stop?
It's a primary.

4. Why the hell should he leave?
I haven't heard any compelling reasons as to why he should.

5. I haven't heard either
Just because I don't agree with him, doesn't mean he should get out of dodge.

Delegates and the Platform, there is more to this than a horse race!

6. Perhaps you should be asking the question of the candidate
your sigline says you support...who is currently trailing Dean in delegates.

7. Lets worry about Kucinich and Sharpton first shall we? And Edwards
is *behind* Dean in delegates so, it's my oppinion that those three should drop out first.

8. Are you kidding me ???
Edited on Mon Feb-16-04 11:23 AM by MadAsHell
Have you been reading the papers or watching the news? The last six to eight weeks, the Democrats have been above the fold and although most of the stories have been of the horse-race nature, once in a while something about a position gets into the media. This while the Bushits are pushed down the page. There is all kinds of good that can come from a campaign lasting until the convention.

By the way, what's up with the extra "N" in Wisconsin. Is that someone's cute twist or something?

9. He's still ahead of Edwards, Kucinich and Sharpton
Why would he drop out?

Kerry is losing ground. If he does the right thing for the party and drops out we might have a fair fight for the nomination between Dean and Edwards, with Kucinich and Sharpton staying in to gain some power for their platforms.

Anyone interested in a real primary based on voters choice should call or e-mail the DNC and tell them to keep out of it.

15. That's just silly
Kerry is not losing ground. He's not going to drop out. He is the voter's choice.

10. My response: Don't care.
He can stay as long as he can stand the pain.

12. He shouldn't leave
until at least after Super Tuesday when over 1,000 delegates are at stake.

13. Dr. Dean will make the right decision.
I suggest we let him make it, and quit worrying about it.
