Talk:2004 Democratic Party presidential primaries

message: This page will soon be merged with U.S. presidential election, 2004.  If you object, say so here: Talk:U.S._presidential_election%2C_2004#Moving_Democrats_to_own_page
I've decided not to delete this page altogether...it appears to be a potentially useful stub, if someone were to flesh it out.  However, the idea of maintaining the timeline here was ill conceived, and thus I moved that material back to the main 2004 election page -- RobLa 06:22, 8 Dec 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: Fantastic idea, and bravo!  I really like the format - compacting it really communicates a lot.  The good news about adding a second table is that presumably many of the candidates have/will have dropped out, so the second table will be smaller, as will the third and fourth.  Given 51 states/districts, we could either try to cram 17 states into 3 tables, or have 13 states in 4 tables.  I think 4 tables will be fine.  -- RobLa 05:23, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't calculated how many, but a number of states don't have primaries or caucuses, so we may only need 3 tables. --Minesweeper 09:13, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)

text: Yes, great job packing a lot of information in a small space.  Rotating 90° makes sense, since the "states" axis is the one that will grow.  However, formatting appears to work best with the states across the top.  If it's too much trouble to rotate, then just having multiple tables is fine in my book. --Minesweeper 09:13, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)

text: Perhaps "U.S. Democratic Party Presidential Nomination, 2004" ...that's what this is all about -- RobLa 05:23, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)

text: I restored Vardion's table and updated; someone will come along and fix the HTML so it displays in the proper position; but the improvement to the table is fantastic... (I also restored the candidates to alphabetical order, because it would be a small pain to move each candidate to the end as they drop out...) - Seth Ilys 14:24, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've posted a little note at Wikipedia:Village pump asking for someone to take a look at it. Thanks for trying to fix it - the problem seems very difficult to pin down, and I wasn't having any luck with it. (Thanks for re-alphabeticizing the candidates, too). -- Vardion 03:21, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)
replies: text:  I seem to have nailed it: there was a single missing </small> tag throwing the whole thing off. If it's any consolation, I never would have spotted it myself; I ran the table code through a computer program that automatically checks for things like that. —Paul A 04:10, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks, that's great. I'd never have found something like that. I'll have to find one of those checking programs, I think... - Vardion 04:29, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)

message: it is useful to the reader to see the dates each candidate dropped out. Please put those dates back in. Kingturtle 23:17, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course we should. Vermont voted for him, and he'll get their delegates to the convention. Neow 02:08, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: (Naturally we should enter his numbers into the table, but as it stands now his column is bright FFE8E8 all the way down, despite his third-place finish in Idaho.) Thanks. Jxg 02:20, 2004 Mar 3 (UTC)

thread_title:  dates 

message: It is less than a year till January 20, 2005! By the time John Kerry is inaugurated on that day, I wonder what people will say! Interestingly, this is the first time in 200 years when there was a President elected in a year evenly divisible by 40 who survived his full 4-year term.
:Hopefully...the term's not over yet.  Don't jinx it.  --Goobergunch 18:10, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  The 44th President 

message: Does this section really belong in this article? It barely has anything to do with the actual topic, and has more to do with POV statements both for and against certain actions by the President during the war that have nothing to do with the Democratic nomination process. Jfiling 00:07, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The war was the backdrop for that period of the race in 2003 (and pretty much the whole race).  It may be appropriate to shorten this section, but it's hard to construct a narrative that ignores the war.  -- RobLa 22:22, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
