Dean wins D.C. This does matter if you live in D.C.

"The former Vermont governor got 43% of the votes, followed by Al Sharpton with 34%, former Sen. Carol Moseley Braun with 12% and Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, with 8%.

The other five major Democratic candidates for the party's presidential nomination were not on the ballot. No delegates were selected; that comes later in caucuses on Feb. 12.

Turnout was higher than in previous presidential primaries with 12% of registered voters casting ballots compared to 8.4% in 2002."


Of interest is that USA today appears to be under the impression that 2002 was a presidential primary year. I could definitely do a more accurate reporting job. Sheesh.

Given the fact that some 90% of the voters in D.C. are black, it does say something about Dean's appeal.

0 down 50 to go.
