Massachusetts Senator John Kerry won five states, including Arizona, in the first major test of strength for the Democratic presidential hopefuls known as Super Tuesday.

Unofficial results showed Kerry leading in Arizona with 94 percent of precincts reporting.

As of press time, Kerry had 43 percent of the vote.

In Graham County, Kerry received 42 percent of the vote and in Greenlee County he received 37, losing to retired Gen. Wesley Clark who picked up 39 percent of the vote.

550 of the 1,305 voters who turned out in Graham County voted for Kerry. Clark came in second with 33 percent of the vote.

Dr. Howard Dean, North Carolina Senator John Edwards, and Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman fought for third place in both counties.

In Graham, Lieberman won with 109 votes. He was followed by Dean with 96 votes and Edwards with 69.

Dean took third in Greenlee with 60 votes. Edwards picked up 50 votes and Lieberman 41 in the county.

Both Dean and Lieberman remain winless thus far in the primary season.

Dean has pledged to stay in the race, holding out for the Wisconsin primary to be held Feb. 17 while Lieberman dropped out of the race Tuesday evening.

"Today the voters have rendered their verdict and I accept it," Lieberman said.

Edwards won South Carolina and Clark won Oklahoma, both keeping their candidacies alive.

It was a good night for Kerry who won five of the seven states voting Tuesday. Kerry also won New Mexico, Michigan, Missouri, Delaware and North Dakota

" I visited this spot in 2001 and had a wonderful time, in the two weeks I was there I greatly enjoyed the spring, the people and hiking in the surrounding area. The time I spent here was the highlight of my winter adventure. I played dominoes, drank tequila and picked up pretty rocks (and soaked in the spring of course!) It sounds like some terrible things have happened since and it's a shame that it's now closed. I would have loved to have seen it again. "

" Re: Eve Batchelder murder-2006. I personally knew Eve as did many of my other co-workers and we were appalled that her confessed murderer was allowed to plead to a lesser charge (obviously) to escape the death penalty. This was a pre-meditated murder and kidnapping, resulting in the death of a wonderful, gentle soul not to mention leaving her two children without their mother! Jason Martinez does not deserve to live at the expense of the taxpayers with the chance that he could be paroled! Society cannot afford to be "soft" for the fear of peer pressure. "

" I agree with Rustom Kevala.
In literature there are many scientific indications that the preparation of the sacred liquid (Haoma),could not contain a Hallucinogen-Entheogen drug (cf publications of Harry Falk, Jan Houben, Frits Staal and the late Mary Boyce).
As a plant-physiologist and toxicologian, I did some study about the preparation of Parahom (as described in Avesta). From the scientic point of view it is impossible that the sacred drink is hallucinogen.
I do not understand the arguments of the Pima's Church of Cognizance.
It is as stupid as the assert: Jesus used Marihuana. "

" Who cares about ibuprofen anyways! its just a pill that peopel take for headaches and aches who cares about what the school system. If someone suffers from chronic headaches and stuff like that they should be allowed to carry it around. IT was a bad thing to distribute it around to others, but they should be able to keep it anyway. Its not like teachers are all that willing to let students out of the classroom just because of a headache!!! SMS should be sued. Strip searching a student like that should NOT BE ALLOWED!!!! "

" Is there any way to post the photos of these molesters "in" the schools so that the children and school staff may detect any possible molesters? After all they are the ones who would most likely see them. "
