6. Can I jump on this bandwagon too?
Long-time JK supporter here, who is now whole-heartedly supporting Barack Obama. I was stunned by last night's results, especially because the polls had it all wrong. I was at the Obama primary event in Nashua, NH last night. It was packed, and the crowd would go wild every time the gap between Clinton and Obama started closing. Because of back problems (probably caused by standing since about 5:30 PM),I ended up having to leave around 10:00 PM, before the race was called for Clinton. I wish I had been able to wait a little longer, to hear Barack's speech live. The race is very close, and I believe it will be close for a while.

What do you think are the chances that Edwards will pull out before 2/5, and throw his support to Obama? I think the 15%-20% he's pulling would make a real difference. And he must be starting to realize that he can't win. He characterizes Obama as a "change candidate" like him, as opposed to HRC as the status quo candidate. So I imagine if he does eventually drop out, he would back Obama over HRC.
