Vietnam Vet Wins NH
In New Hampshire, it’s John Kerry (who served in Vietnam) by a length: Kerry Wins N.H. Primary, Boosts Momentum.
MANCHESTER, N.H. - John Kerry easily won New Hampshire’s primary Tuesday, overpowering Howard Dean and other Democratic rivals for a second-straight victory to establish the four-term senator as the party’s presidential front-runner.“It’s an enormous victory, a huge turnaround,” Kerry told The Associated Press. “We were written off for months, and plugged on and showed people the determination we have to defeat President Bush.”
Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina and retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark were in a distant race for third as early returns trickled in from across the Granite State. Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut was fifth, his candidacy in peril.
Alas, Howard, we hardly knew ye.
