Reply #10: More rats jumping onto a sinking ship [View All]

First Goveror Vilsack, then Jean Carnahan, now Clyburn.

What on earth would motivate Clyburn (or, for that matter, Hollings) to back a candidate who has absolutely ZERO chance of winning in South Carolina -- or elsewhere else in the South, for that matter -- in the general election?

Edwards at least has a fighting chance to win a few Southern states in the fall. You'd think that the elected officials down there would realize this and act accordingly. But no. It turns out that elected officials in the South behave just like elected officials elsewhere. The see that Kerry's the frontrunner and the want to jump aboard the bandwagon.
