A bit of perspective from the California Insider. Quotable:
So John Kerry has won a convincing victory in New Hampshire .. Kerry accomplished that feat on the strength of about 85,000 votes cast by Granite State Democrats -- far fewer than the 122,000 votes my local state senator received in her last reelection campaign. Howard Dean won a solid second place, with fewer votes than my assemblyman – one of 80 in the California Legislature – got last time. And then there were John Edwards and Wesley Clark, fighting it out for third place with about 26,000 votes each, about as many as it took to finish third in the most recent race for the Sacramento city school board ..Posted by Greg Ransom | TrackBack
