Will TN & VA determine fates of Clark & Edwards?

[AnnitaR]

I think so. I see next Tuesday as really the last showdown between the two of them.

Clark had a great night tonight. He won OK and came in 2nd in 3 states. Edwards won in SC as expected and did better than expected in OK.

At some point one of them has to have a substantial victory over the other. These tight races between the two of them can't go on for very long. I don't think Kerry is going to do well in TN or VA. Clark is doing bus tour in TN, he's had ads on here for a long time and has visited several times. Edwards is going to be spending a lot of time here, although he says he's going to Mich. as well.

As much as it scares the hell out of me... I do believe that which ever one wins both TN & VA will move on to try and take down Kerry.

Although the way things are going for the two of them they will split TN & VA and we'll be in the same place we are now.

DU Clark supporters please do whatever you can to help our guy out here in TN & in VA! I believe next Tuesday will be CRUCIAL for our guy! If he beats Edwards next week they won't be able to ignore him any longer!

We have ONE week to make the difference in this campaign!

1. TN and VA will be a big battle...

...and I'm ready to do everything I can to stare down you Clark supporters.

If Edwards loses by ~1,000 to Clark again, I'm going to go crazy!

Clark has been running ads down here in Virginia for a long time now, but Edwards will turn it up this week.

I wish Clark supporters the best of luck. This will be a fun week.

May the best non-Kerry man win.

3. "May the best non-Kerry win"! LOL!

:toast: That's a great line!

It's going to be a real nail biter next week!

4. Last poll I saw...

Kerry had a solid lead in Virginia. Wes has been running (excellent and persuasive) commercials here for a few weeks.

You'll notice that they didn't do too bad in this last round... missed a bit in SC.

I think Kerry and Edwards will be helped the most by today and Clark will too but maybe not as much.

All beats are off if Dean challenges Sharpton to a one-on-one debate and Sharpton accepts.
