Winning Strategies

John Kerry wins the New Hampshire primary, but the fight for the Democratic nomination has a few more rounds to go. Howard Dean showed he’s still a contender with his second place showing in New Hampshire. Wesley Clark and John Edwards virtually tied for third place and say they still hope to blow the race wide open as the contest heads South and West this week.

Next Tuesday, 269 convention delegates are up for grabs when seven states, Arizona, Delaware, Missouri, North Dakota, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and South Carolina, go to the polls.

Christopher Hill: U.S. Troop Withdrawal ‘On Schedule’

U.S. Ambassaor to Iraq Christopher Hill spoke with On Point live from Baghdad today as early voting gets underway, part of the run-up to Sunday’s elections. “So far so good,” Hill said, despite scattered violence. Hill said that the plan to withdraw U.S. combat troops by Sept. 1, and to leave only a residual advisory force of 50,000 or fewer, remains “very much on schedule.” Observers worry that a spike in violence could derail that timeline.
