Dean is winning!
Dean has more delegates than any other candidate, including Kerry. Kerry has 94, while Dean has 113. Of course, 2161 delegates are needed, and most of Dean's delegates are "unpledged".
These unpledged "superdelegates" -- delegates who are not selected through primaries, but go to the convention automatically because of their standing in the party (governors, senators, party officials, etc.) -- can change their informal support at any time, so they really don't count yet (as some will surely change their preferences over time). So really, Kerry is winning, but hey, Dean supporters, take what you can get! ;-)
Also take note that Kucinich has exactly one delegate who is not himself. Heh heh heh.

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
