Kerry sweeps Southern primaries for solid nomination push
John Kerry won Florida, Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana by large margins, gathering about 75 percent in Florida and Mississippi and over 60 percent in the other two. Bush secured the Republican nomination with the delegate threshold. Kerry criticized the drug plan and Bush's record, while Edwards remained a possible running mate option and Dean discussed a possible reendorsement. Voters skewed older, with the economy the top concern.
