Man, I am so excited! It is already December of 2003 and we're getting close to the first primaries, and Howard Dean is WAY ahead of all the other candidates and he is totally set to get the Democratic nomination!
It's a done deal! John Kerry should just throw in the towel; there is no way Kerry can catch up to Dean and THERE IS NO WAY THAT THESE POLLS COULD BE WRONG!
