The mini-Super Tuesday Democratic Party primaries and caucuses have cemented Senator John F. Kerry’s position as the frontrunner for his party’s presidential nomination.
Kerry won the contests in Missouri, Arizona, Delaware, New Mexico and North Dakota.
Senator John Edwards won in South Caroline, keeping his hopes alive, at least for a few days.
Retired General Wesley Clark had a narrow victory over Edwards and Kerry in Oklahoma, also delaying his departure from the race.
The former frontrunner and Governor of Vermont, Howard Dean, was defeated in all seven contests.
The 2000 vice-presidential nominee, Senator Joe Lieberman, was also defeated and announced his withdrawal from the race.
These are the various victory and concession speeches from the candidates:
- Listen to John Kerry (14m)
- Listen to John Edwards (6m)
- Listen to Wesley Clark (5m)
- Listen to Howard Dean (5m)
- Listen to Joe Lieberman (12m)
