Reply #13: Edwards is perfectly positioned to overtake Dean for second [View All]

With the 25 to 30% independent vote and same day registers, this thing is up for grabs.

I only worry about one thing. Republicans really want to face Howard Dean. For over a month, I have worried about same day registers that are faithful Bush supporters, registering as Democrats or Independents JUST TO VOTE FOR DEAN and throw a monkey wrench in this entire process.

As long as that doesn't happen, I can't see the Independent vote going to Kerry or Dean because they are too well-known. I think it will particularly go to Edwards and he is going to finish second.

I hope these Republicans don't intentionally try to screw this up. I think that Guliani and Pataki and the GOP are doing more than just promoting Bush in NH.
