Just Win, Baby
All right. Edwards and Clark have done the business.
In both states where Kerry was seriously challenged, he lost. He's vulnerable.
That is not the way my local paper is playing it, of course. Kerry won 5, we won zero.
Roy Neel told us to expect that. But now that Edwards and Clark have shown they are serious contenders we must do the same. Before this can become a two-man race, it must become a four-man race.
The longer Dean goes without a win, the bigger the monkey on our back becomes. Maybe he's just an acquired taste, like tequilla or truffles. That's how we're being thought of right now.
The only cure for that is a win, starting in Washington or Maine. (Michigan would be nice, and perhaps Kerry's new vulnerability makes that possible.) We have chosen the ground. Clark and Edwards will be pulling for us, because if no one can beat Kerry outside the South neither of them really stands a chance.
The theory Neel is operating on is that, the more Democratic the state, the better our chances. That theory will now be put to the test.
It's up to us. The pressure's on.
Just win, baby.
