Interestingly, what I hoped would happen – Clark dropping out and joining the push to elect Kerry, has come to pass. Clark appeared in Madison, WI with Kerry today, and offered both his endorsement and actual help campaigning. This is great news, because it means that we’re starting the next phase of the campaign. Apart from Dean and Edwards, Kerry’s efforts can now be focused where they should be – on building a coalition to beat Bush.
I predict that Dean is going to hang in there, because there will undoubtedly be a contender all the way to the Boston convention. What I hope is that Edwards sits down with Kerry and decides to also throw in his support, possibly with a tacit understanding that he’d be a good VP on the ticket. Dean will then continue to marginalize himself by claiming that he won’t support Kerry, and by displaying more of his famous anger management abilities. And the rest of us can get on with the serious business of ensuring electoral votes.
By my count, if we start with the electoral map from 2000, we need 10 more electoral votes to win, due to changes in population. I think Arizona is a possible state which might finally lean democratic, there’s a possibility (hard as it is to believe) in Florida, but a lot of our effort needs to be focused on Ohio, in my opinion. A centrist candidate might be able to gain Ohio, especially if they’re good on the economy and credible in national security. Getting Ohio, and no defections back to Bush from the 2000 “democratic” states, would win this election for Kerry, and allow us to send G.W. back where he belongs – writing his memoirs in Crawford.
