Democrats dash to next contest states
Race broadens to South and West
MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (CNN) -- The Democratic presidential hopefuls charged out across the country on Wednesday to prepare for contests in seven states less than a week away.
Tuesday, voters will go the polls for primaries in Arizona, Delaware, Missouri, Oklahoma, and South Carolina; New Mexico and North Dakota will hold their caucuses.

John Edwards talks with members of an audience at a campaign stop Wednesday in Orangeburg, South Carolina.
Sen. John Kerry, who followed his victory in Iowa with a 13-percentage-point win in New Hampshire, was kicking off a seven-day swing through the states Wednesday with a rally in St. Louis, Missouri, where he was to pick up the endorsement of Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack.
Kerry also is to be endorsed Tuesday by Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina, campaign spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said. "It's a significant endorsement," she said. "James Clyburn is a leader in the African-American community, not only in South Carolina but throughout the country."
Kerry won 39 percent of the New Hampshire vote, compared to 26 percent for former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, 12 percent each for retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark and Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina and 9 percent for Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut.(Full story)
The first-place finish, with its solid margin, was a remarkable turnaround for Kerry, who trailed Dean by double digits in New Hampshire polls as recently as two weeks ago.
