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.” By Jordan THE BAT Setting 16 d jalseason or ca jiy would seei [fibination t'01 15®, The Tex; [liming and is! that Friday my empty-han li front of tli (attend an A lid diving me< fi»ies (8-2) I [iversity of Te imeel that w; In the score si A&M head s' jlti Nash said 1 (ebest meets tli |i« pleased ' (nances that f ptbythe loss "Texas swan In they have ainst top-Kite; Texas set the 1 km the beginni fvard medley i©t time in t tason.A&M \u ashing second sifaste-nnm By Jort THE ■Dismal” i: faibetheTe* Wperfonnam SPORTS EVERYTHING Y STUDENT REC CENTER Services Break a Sweat with Rec Fitness o n recsports. tamuM Go All Out with TAMU Outdoors FACULTY/STAFF MEMBERSHIPS—Now has never been a better time to check out Rec Center memberships.
