Horse Race

Is it over yet? Almost. Here are the numbers from the Green Papers:

John F. Kerry        1,187   1,324.5

John Edwards         452      476 (has withdrawn)

Howard Dean           66      120.5 (has withdrawn) 

Wesley K. Clark        63        68 (has withdrawn)

Alfred C. Sharpton    20        20 (probable quit soon)

Dennis J. Kucinich     12        19 (says he will continue)

Father, let me dedicate All this year to you
In whatever earthly state You will have me be
Not from sorrow, pain, or care Freedom dare I claim;
This alone shall be my prayer: Glorify Your name.
--from New Year's Hymn by Lawrence Tuttiett, 1864 (alt.)
