kerry wins dc democratic caucus
after winning the non-binding washington, dc primary last month, howard dean finished third in yesterday's democratic caucus. kerry garnered almost half of the capital's votes while adding nine delegates to his already sizable lead.* he didn't participate in the 13 january primary, which allowed dean to win a (symbolic) victory, his only one in the campaign to date. senator kerry received 4,278 votes (47%), followed by the al sharpton, 1,824 votes (20%) and howard dean with 1,596 votes (17%).9,126 ballots were cast... there's 260,000 eligible voters in the district of which i believe 257,000 are registered democrats...
this time it's kerry.
*a candidate needs 2,162 delegates to win the nomination. kerry currently has 567, dean 187 and edwards 166.
