I see that as a warning sign, especially when Dion is everyone's apparent "second choice".<BR/><BR/>torontoyl<BR/><BR/>From everything I have heard Dion's delegates have shown up in great force. This might be a question of early proximity, but unless you have any evidence, I will go with the delegate registration to date, which shows strong support.Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-1164925089160277322006-11-30T17:18:00.000-05:002006-11-30T17:18:00.000-05:00500 people does not a nation make.
