D.C. Primary `Vote' Was a Whiff of Hell

The announced outcome, Howard Dean and Al Sharpton coming out far in the lead, with LaRouche's vote coming in far below the so-called major candidates, simply defied political reality—including pre-election polls that showed both LaRouche and Sharpton running at about 20% of the vote.
