Sen. John Edwards (N.C.) earned survival yesterday with an impressive victory in South Carolina, as did retired Gen. Wesley K. Clark with a slim win in Oklahoma. But neither they nor any of the remaining rivals to front-running Sen. John F. Kerry (Mass.) can yet boast of anything like robust political health.
A Kerry sweep, something his lieutenants say they never contemplated, might well have ended the Democratic presidential race, for practical purposes. Edwards's triumph in his native South ensures that it rolls on for him, while Clark and former Vermont governor Howard Dean pledge that they, too, are staying on for the ride. Yet, by any measure -- delegates, poll ratings in key states or fundraising potential -- Kerry remains in command of the race and is well positioned to walk away with it by the end of this month, say Democratic strategists with the campaigns and elsewhere. |
