Super 7 Gives Dean Simply 7
Briefly, Dean's unwillingness to throw any effort in the direction of the Super 7 Primaries yesterday resulted in a dismal showing. 7 delegates. If you consider how much was spent in those states on ads prior to Iowa and NH (about $3M), that's more than $400K per delegate. One of the most wasteful expenditures in the history of Prez politicin'. Truly sad.
Kerry had what most are calling a great night last evening. To have swept the Super 7 might have thinned the field too much, to have scored less than 5 victories might have looked like a deflation. So with convincing margins, Kerry's definitely the one to beat. My, my - how things have coalesced in very short order.
