on edit: Changed headline from (according to Zogby to (Zogby suggests)


"Something is definitely happening here," said Zogby. "I'm going to suggest that Edwards wins Georgia. He's a late closer."

1. umm..

that's not what the story says.

Kerry is leading by 16 points. Zogby thinks Edwards COULD win.

[KurtNilsen]

2. I am sorry. English is not my native tongue, but:

"Something is definitely happening here," said Zogby. "I'm going to suggest that Edwards wins Georgia. He's a late closer."

seems to square with "Edwards to win Georgia".

4. Sorry, different meaning.

You should change the title to "Edwards may win Georgia, although he's now behind" or "Edwards could win Georgia, although he's now behind."

[KurtNilsen]

6. Alright, how's that?

3. Too little, too late

Kerry will take at least nine of the ten Super Tuesday contests; there's no way Edwards will be able to recover or spin that as a "win."

[KurtNilsen]

5. Unfortunately, I think that I have to agree with you.

That said, Kerry will be a strong candidate.

Hopefully, his weaknesses will be vastly overshadowed by Bush's general cluelessness :-)

7. One thing I can say for Kerry: He'll fight.

One of the problems with Gore was that he wouldn't fight the Republican attacks. Kerry will.

[KurtNilsen]

8. Well, he'll have to.

He better get on a bulletproof vest and bring a bazooka, because the opposition has loads of ammo.

I think it is going to be a very ugly, nasty and bitter election campaign.

9. I really think you're right

The Bushies have been on the defensive for weeks since Kerry became the front-runner. And with about six or seven recent polls showing Kerry beating Bush, I think they're getting scared.

10. I am thrilled

Sure, it may not make a difference, but the fact that I actually get a vote that matters. The nomination is not wrapped up, and my vote counts. (It is going ot Edwards by the way, and I live in Georgia). I am also getting everyone I know to come out for the election. I vote in every election, but my friends never vote in primaries, and I think I can get 5 more votes for him in Georgia.

I ran into so many old friends from college too at Edwards rallies. I think young professional people like Edwards.

Anyway, I got a job finally, after 14 months. But of course its only a 2 month contract job.

11. It's an open primary

they are running ads reminding Republicans that it's not just a Democratic primary, there's the flag issue to vote on. In addition, the local conservative radio shows have been pushing Edwards.

[Gadave]

12. I am glad

Let the Republicans try to influence out elections. The longer Edwards stays alive the better it is for us. (I prefer it to be decided at the convention actually). Image a couple months of debate between Edwards and Kerry, with neighter having a majority of committed delegates (leaving it up to the uncommitteds).

This will short circuit the Republicans plan of destroying our nominee between the time the last challenger drops out and the convention.

I say keep it up.

[VOX]

13. Agree 100%! It keeps * on the defensive...

Kerry and Edwards won't really be ripping into each other, anyway -- they need each other, as common sense says that they will probably form the ticket. (BTW, I like Edwards and am voting for him in the CA primary next Tuesday.) They'll both be going after *.

I'd like to see Kucinich and Sharpton hang in, too -- they bring a lot to the issues and help frame the debates.

14. IIRC, Republicans can vote in the GE, too.

God forbid we'd have a candidate that appeals to Repubs and Independents! Perish the thought! :eyes:

[flpoljunkie]

15. A GOP vote for Edwards or a strategic vote against Kerry and for Bush?

Only exit polling will give you any clues to this question.

[Cuban_Liberal]

16. And exit polling is flawed, at best. n/t

[flpoljunkie]

17. Not really. When 85% of those who enthusiasticallly support bush, voted

for either Edwards (50%) or Dean (36%)--something is definitely up--and it is called strategic voting.
