He added: "We're the underdog with the biggest bite."
All were vying for a share of the 1,307 Democratic presidential nominating delegates at stake in 20 states.
In the crucial delegate battle Dukakis won 297 delegates out of Super Tuesday. Gore won 523, Jackson won 89 and Gerchamp won 89.
Gore said he would be among the three candidates going to the convention — suggesting Gephardt wouldn't be able to.
"I think that three of us are going to go all the way to the convention." Gore said. "It will be a choice between the politics of the past and the politics of the future."
Republicans Continued from p.1
Bush's national campaign chairman, Lee Atwater, predicted that Bush would pick up more than 600 delegates. A gain of that magnitude would give him a nearly unassailable lead toward winning the GOP presidential nomination.
"I would certainly hate to be in Sen. Dole's shoes after tonight and especially if he loses in Illinois," Alwater said.
The Dole campaign had sought to keep Bush from picking up more than 500 delegates.
Supporters respond Locals discuss Super Tuesday results

Local observers didn't seem concerned with Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole's poor showing in yesterday's Super Tuesday results.
Vice President George Bush and Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis were the big winners on Super Tuesday, and Pat Robertson and Rep. Richard Gephardt were the losers.
Super Tuesday refers to yesterday's whirlwind round of four state caucuses and 16 state primaries. As of yesterday, one third of the Democratic and Republican delegates for the presidential nominating conventions were chosen.
Bret Frazier, president of Jayhawks for Dole, said it was too early to count Dole out of the race.
"Analysts have said that of all the presidential contenders, both Republican and Democratic, Bob Dole was the only candidate who could afford to lose Super Tuesday and still capture the nomination," he said.
But Allan Cigler, associate professor of political science, said he was surprised at how Dole fared among the voters.
"I think it will take a major miracle for Dole to recover. If he doesn't
turn it around, it will be difficult for him to defeat Bush," he said.
Brenda Eisele, president of KU College Republicans and a Dole supporter, disagreed. She said Bush's victories were anticipated and that Dole was still in the running for the nomination.
"I don't think it will take a major miracle for him to win the nomination," she said. "It's not discouraging at all."
Frazier said the Republican race could possibly be decided at the convention, especially since Robertson has fallen to the back of the Republican pack.
"If it does come down to the convention, Dole may be established as the only alternative to Bush," he said.
Frazier said that Dole needed to win in Illinois and make a fair showing in New York and California in order to win the Republican nomination.
In the Democratic race, Cigler said he was surprised by Gephardt's lone victory in Missouri and Sen. Albert Gore's victory in Oklahoma.
"We'll see if Gore can do well in Illinois. But a little bit still depends on if Gephardt is still in the race, which would splinter the vote,"
