I’m telling you, John Kerry’s sore throat and laryngitis is reminiscent of Bill Clinton in 1992.
Victory speech coming shortly.
UPDATE, 9:09 PM MST: Teddy Kennedy and his giant head are introducing John Kerry right now. The audio keeps cutting in and out.
UPDATE, 9:10 PM MST: “Last night, the New England Patriots won. Tonight, this New Englander won, and you’ve sent me on the way to the Super Bowl.” Which is… New Hampshire? I guess.
“Thank you, Iowa, for making me the Comeback Kerry.”
UPDATE, 9:13 PM MST: John Kerry is crediting a four-leaf clover given to him by a woman at an Iowa barn a few days ago with rejuvenating his campaign.
Kerry is making his pitch for Gephardt’s voters now. “He is a special public servant, ladies and gentleman.”
UPDATE, 9:15 PM MST: “J.K. all the way!” Hmm… Harry Potter fans?
UPDATE, 9:18 PM MST: Kerry to “special interests” in the Bush White House: “We’re coming, you’re going, and don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”
UPDATE, 9;20 PM MST: “We will hold this president accountable for making a mockery of the words ‘Leave No Child Behind.’” Yee-ah!! But, hmm… didn’t Ted Kennedy work together with Bush on that bill?
UPDATE, 9:23 PM MST: “We are not going to give one benefit or one reward to any Benedict Arnold company that takes their jobs and their money overseas and sticks you with the bill. That’s over.”
“I will appoint an attorney general who is not John Ashcroft.” Wait… wait… John Kerry is NOT going to re-appoint John Ashcroft??? I’m SHOCKED!!! :)
UPDATE, 9:25 PM MST: “Karl Rove and George Bush have already announced that they’re going to run this campaign on national security.” –Kerry
“Bring it on!” –a supporter
Heh.
Bigger heh: “I look forward to reminding them that I know something about aircraft carriers for real.” Hahaha.
UPDATE, 9:27 PM MST: Provisionally… I like Kerry. Good speaker. Seems like a good candidate.

The haughty, French-looking Democratic Senator from Massachusetts, who by the way served in Vietnam? Ha, bring it on.

Kerry is a big winner tonight, but honestly he won’t look viable outside the Northeast. Edwards is the biggest winner tonight–he has a great shot to pick up a lot of states in the South, with Clark and Sharpton being his nearest competition. If he can use Iowa to catapult him into contention in the non-Southern states, he’s set. I don’t think Dean’s done, but Clark must do well in NH now to have a shot; if he doesn’t win NH or at least come in second, Edwards will surge and become the new candidate for would-be Clark voters. In the end though, I still see the Northeast being split by Dean and Kerry, the South being split three ways between first Edwards then Clark and then Sharpton (seriously, it’s going to be quite entertaining to see him win some delegates down there, thanks to the black vote), with the West going for Dean and the Midwest/Sunbelt going for Clark first and then Dean (since Gephardt and Lieberman will be effectively out by then).

Okay, Andrew. In regards to your first comment. I believe there was some war hero Democratic Senator from Massachusetts that did quite well in a presidential election against a megalomaniacal corrupt Republican why should we think it would be different this go around? As for French looking let us place a picture of Bush next to a picture of Kerry. Now I ask you, which one looks like a president and which one looks like a Chimpanzee? I agree with Brendan, Kerry is starting to look pretty good. (The allure of Dean was only that he could organize and effectively get out voters, that is that he was running an effective grassroots campaign; we shall have to see how that works in NH, but it has turned out not to be true in Iowa.)
