Isnt it a bit early to give SC to Edwards?

President - - 149 of 2,008 precincts reporting
149, out of 2000?
Just a thought :shrug:

1. I think the projections are based on exit polls.

But we shall see.

14. GREAT JOB JOHN EDWARDS

You are the new son of the south...we are all very proud of you keep up the good work!

[Cuban_Liberal]

2. Nope.

Not when the marging is as big as it is. Besides, they are selected precincts used by political analysts, 'bellweather precincts', if you will.

[Mobius]

4. forgive me

if I don't put much stock in what political analysts have to say:puke:

8. They've been pretty accurate this year.

They called Iowa and NH, after the polls closed, and did so fairly accurately, I might add.

[SadEagle]

3. Exit polls.

They've probably sampled most of the country, so they know which areas are good for whom. And the lead is big enough for it to be a pretty safe call.

5. Don't be stingy.

Let the man have his home.

[Mobius]

6. No problem there,

but not until he actually wins it :hi:

[leyton]

7. No.

The numbers in Iowa did not change dramatically from the first to the last precinct as they rolled in. The numbers from the SC precincts are coming in and they do not appear to be changing either. Even in NH there was not much change, as Edwards and Clark switched places but still danced around the same percentages.

[Mobius]

9. What about NH that was a REAL primary?

Clark saw huge late surges there.

[mlawson]

10. They know which precincts are in, and which are not.

Comparing the results to demographics and historical patterns, they can say very closely what 100% will look like.

[Democrats unite]

11. Edwards is a good man

a little inexperienced IMO but he's a good man. I pretty much felt Edwards was going to do this in SC & good for him.

[genius]

12. He's in the high forties. No one else is close. It's a landslide

Your guy may do well elsewhere.

[dweller]

13. Get with the plan!

that way they can call *moron again in 2004...
