First:
Aides to Wesley Clark and John Edwards say they expect their candidates to lose Tuesday's Virginia and Tennessee primaries.
But Clark and Edwards have promised to forge ahead despite Kerry's advantage. They're hoping for a February 17 showdown in Wisconsin.
Howard Dean has said he must win Wisconsin to stay in the race.
Second:
Monday, Dean changed his mind. He addressed a crowd of about 300 people at UWGB, repeating how important Wisconsin's votes are to his future. But after his speech, in a one-on-one interview with Action 2 News reporter Sarah Thomsen, Dean said he will not give up even if he loses here a week from Tuesday.
So,
No one is getting out, Kerry is getting less than 50% of the delegates... even if Kerry continues his plurality wins, if no one gets out (and why should they, given the internet funding) we'll have a brokered convention. If one of the other candidate starts to catch hold (ala Reagan in 1976), we could have a contested brokered primary.
