Kerry criticizes Bush;
rivals to stay in race
March 2 “Super Tuesday” pri-
By Jonathan D. Salant
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Fresh off wins in two caucus
states, John Kerry sought a third
victory Sunday while question
ing President Bush’s National
Guard service and adding anoth
er endorsement. Democratic
presidential rivals Wesley Clark,
Howard Dean and John Edwards
pledged to stay in the race, vow
ing not to be deterred by Kerry's
successes.
Kerry, campaigning like a
front-runner, ignored his pri
mary opponents and criticized
Bush on Iraq. He picked up
backing from Virginia Gov.
Mark Warner and awaited the
results of Maine’s Democratic
caucuses, where 24 pledged del
egates to the Democratic con
vention were at stake.
Clark, Dean and Edwards,
appearing separately on the
Sunday television talk shows,
all said they would continue to
challenge Kerry for the
Democratic nomination
despite the Massachusetts sen
ator’s advantage in the polls
and in endorsements and his
wins in nine of the first 1 1 pri
maries, including two contests
on Saturday.
“Real voters are going to
decide who the nominee is,” Dean
said on CNN’s “Late Edition.”
Dean, the fonner front-run
ner and winless since the start of
voting, declined in separate
interviews to repeat his earlier
assertion that he would with
draw from the race if he lost the
Feb. 17 Wisconsin primary.
Both Clark and Edwards said
they expected to run well in the
next three primaries — Virginia
and Tennessee on Tuesday and
Wisconsin — but would remain
in the race regardless.
Clark, en route to a jobs forum
in Racine, Wis., said on CNN that
he would run at least through the
maries, including in California,
Ohio and New York.
“We’ve got a lot of suppon
across this country,” said Clark,
a retired Army general. “Wedo
expect to go on and do expectto
be there on Super Tuesday.”
Edwards noted on “Fox
News Sunday” that some 75
percent of delegates to the
Democratic National
Convention will still be up for
grabs after Wisconsin votes.
“1 view this very muchasa
long-term process, and we’re in
this for the long term,” said the
North Carolina senator, who vis
ited Baptist churches in
Richmond, Va., before attending
a Democratic dinner in
Nashville, Tenn., that Clark also
planned to attend.
American Research Group
polls give Kerry sizable leads in
all three states: 11 points over
Edwards and 12 over Clark in
Tennessee; 13 points over
Edwards and 18 over Clark in
Virginia; and 26 points over
Clark and 31 over Edwards in
Wisconsin. The margin of error
in each poll taken last week was
plus or minus 4 points.
Kerry also has more than twice
as many delegates as his closest
pursuer, with 412 to Dean’s 174.
according to an Associated Press
tally. It takes 2,162 delegates to
win the nomination.
Accepting Warner's endorse
ment in Richmond, Kerry said
Bush had not fully answered ques
tions about whether he fulfilled
his National Guard service in
Alabama during the Vietnam War.
“The issue here is, as 1 have
heard it raised, is was he present
and active in Alabama at the
time he was supposed to be,"
said Kerry, a decorated Vietnam
War veteran. “I don’t have the
answer to that question and just
because you get an honorable
discharge does not in fact
answer that question.”
