15. What do you mean, 'then?' He's been 'top tier' since the contest started.
He earned his top tier status by being the second banana on a national ticket. He's not 'just' a former senator, he's a former Democratic VP nominee.

VT is a neighboring state of the less populated WESTERN MA. It's a distinction AND a difference. People from Boston and the densely populated suburbs don't run up to VT regularly, but they DO make the trip to tax-free NH on a regular basis.

VT does not share the Boston media market--NH does. You can get the signal with an antennae on top of your house if you live in southern NH.

That "class" comment, is a bit childish, really. Clinton has plenty of "class." She may not speak like a Brahmin, but that's no indicator of "class." Bush Senior had that blue-blood 'class' thing working, and he was a no-class bum.

We really don't vote for Presidents based on their "class" anyway. We wouldn't have elected L'il Bush if that were the case, to say nothing of homeboys like Carter and Bill Clinton, who had plenty of class where it counted, but weren't considered "classy" guys by people who think 'class' has to do with money and position. Or is 'class and strength' a euphemism for 'male?' She'll never be a man, despite people insisting that she's too cold on the one hand, but then, how dare she use her feminine wiles? She can't win with the sexist voter, same way Obama can't win with the racist voters.

I really can't understand how you can talk about how well Kerry did in his 'primaries' compared to Clinton--there's only been ONE primary and one caucus so far.

I think we need to wait until Super Tuesday at least before we start ringing any bells for ANYONE.
