Dean Announces Dem Primary Winner on Daily Show -- Sort'a
Did you catch it? Did you watch the interview of Howard Dean DNC by Jon Stewart on The Daily Show last night? Howard Dean pretty much announced the Winner of the Democratic Primary – Barack Obama
At the very end of the interview, Dean says something like, “We have a chance of winning North Carolina, Virginia and South Carolina.”
Guess who WON two of those States and is about to win the third win next Tuesday? Barack Obama.

As a side note, Zogby has Obama winning NC by 16 pts and Tied in Indiana with Hillary.
Obama also continues to lead Hillary in the national polls.

Of course, he was making a point about the potential to expand the map. Clinton's strategy is to pick off Ohio and/or Florida, which would be nice but wouldn't exactly be a huge realignment (both voted Dem in 96), and there's a decent chance she'll lose at least a couple of those Northwest/upper Midwest states that have been blue since Dukakis. You could even argue that by merely suggesting we have a good chance to expand the map, he is implying that Obama will be the nominee. As the chairman, he has to project optimism no matter who the nominee is, but if Clinton was the nominee I suspect that optimism would be directed toward Ohio and Florida rather than a larger realignment.
