CNN: Edwards strong showing. Cannot call it.

[Renew Deal]

No projection.

Projects Dean a distant third. Based on exit polls.

[incapsulated]

1. Wow

That close?

[Renew Deal]

2. They want you to keep watching.

Viewers are important to you know. :eyes:

[anti-bush]

3. Oh me oh my!

Will it be a barnburner Tuesday night?

[aldian159]

4. yeah

that close. CNN always calls it early.

[Cuban_Liberal]

5. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

*pumps arm in air* :D:bounce:

[SW FL Dem]

6. WOW!!

Gonna be an interesting night.

[eileen_d]

7. Wow

Weren't they calling the election earlier this morning?

[incapsulated]

11. Only for Dean to lose

:eyes:

[maddezmom]

8. too close to call for 1st

but Dean is a distant 3rd.

[bigwillq]

9. Way to go Edwards

I think that debate made a difference. Congrats to his supporters.
I'm sorry for Dean though.

[Nashyra]

10. Clark should have stayed in

Edwards just proved that he does not, does not want the VP slot. After this there is no way Kerry will even consider Edwards for the VP. Better than expected does not constitute a win. Edwards does not have enough experience, the Repukes would eat Edwards for luch. Less than 4 years in the senate and NO military experience or National security experience.

[incapsulated]

12. Even if he wins

It would need to turn into Edwardsmania across the country for him to catch up on Super Tuesday.

*edit* And you should know, as a Clark supporter, that if Clark won WI, they would play it down so much it would look like a loss.

[bigwillq]

20. If Edwards wins WI

I think he could change some people's minds and make it a closer race, imo

[incapsulated]

22. It would be closer

But he still has a lot of ground to make up.

It also depends on the media. If they play this up as a new race, and are bored with Kerry, it could get interesting.

[NewJerseyDem]

13. Edwards has served for 5 years in the Senate

Plus, he serves on the Intelligence Committee. That is more experience than Bush had when he became president. But, maybe that doesn't mean very much.

[NewJerseyDem]

14. Schneider: Only 60% of voters were democrats

Kerry won democrats
Edwards won independents

[eileen_d]

17. I just saw the stat that Edwards got 39% of the Independents

Kerry got 27%. Interesting.

[PA-DEM]

15. so Kerry will win by 6-8 points instead of 40

Kerry still wins. The media is now desperate to keep the primary going.

[killbotfactory]

16. Dang. Go Edwards.

Wish Dean would be doing better, but the media said he lost before any votes were cast.

[SangamonTaylor]

18. This is no annointment!

I keep saying that it's only fair to let the remaining 75% of primary voters speak their mind.

If (and I don't think he should) Dean decides to shift his movement to a 527, then it will be a 2 person race and that is what Kerry must fear the most.

The debate before super tuesday would be huge!

Go Edwards Go!

[Joe the Revelator]

19. This is the primary that shot Jimmy Carter off...

I'd vote for kerry or edwards but i'd really like to see Johnny E. take this one.

[Cuban_Liberal]

21. CNN: Edwards 42%, Kerry 39%.

Still 'too close to call'.:)

[incapsulated]

23. Man

Could be an upset!

[Cuban_Liberal]

24. REALLY big!

:D
