Kerry takes Idaho, Utah, and Hawaii
Sen. Kerry won the Idaho and Hawaii Caucuses and Utah Democratic Primaries with 50% or more in each state’s contest. Sen. Edwards came in second in Idaho and Utah and Rep. Kucinich came in second in Hawaii.
Next up is Super Tuesday! Featuring primaries in California, Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
The results, via CNN:
Idaho:
Kerry 54% / Edwards 22%
Hawaii:
Kerry 50% / Kucinich 26%
Utah:
Kerry 55% / Edwards 30%
All three are very strong showings for Kerry and place Edwards much farther away then I anticipated. I am suprised that Kucinich had such a well showing in Hawaii though. It will be interesting how that will effect the rest of his campaign.

“Another thing that drives me crazy, and I hope I don’t offend anyone here, is WAL-MART,” Mrs. Kerry told a group of Democratic women activists at a luncheon in St. Paul last Tuesday. “They destroy communities.”
