If Edwards is serious about beating Clinton...he'll drop out before Super Tuesday

[Bullet1987]

Edwards is not likely to pick up many states...let's be real. He polling a distant 3rd almost all over the country. If anything, he had the most to lose tonight...not Obama or Clinton. It's becoming more and more clear that Edwards and Obama are splitting the anti-Clinton vote. If Edwards were to drop out after South Carolina...shifting the majority of his voters to Obama...Obama would be that much more formidable.

1. Clinton can only win if Edwards stays in the race.

[kurth]

Nope. He should stay and fight. Keep them honest.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

2. Uh, sure.

Whatever you say, Bullet1987, pundit of all things. :shrug: MKJ

[still_one]

3. That is the very reason why Clinton won't make it, because either Edward's votes

will go to Obama or vice-versa when the actual time comes

[polichick]

4. The good news is Obama seems to have adopted his "fight the corps" issue. nt

[terisan]

13. Do you have some links? nt

[polichick]

17. No, just heard him mention it on the stump this week...

Hope he means it.

[terisan]

24. So do I nt

[Duer 157099]

5. We Western states thank you for limiting our choices

not

[MadMaddie]

If Obama and Edwards made a deal to run together than I could

see it...

[LaPera]

6. Things can change in a heartbeat, Bill Clinton didn't win in Iowa nor the next six primaries....

in 1992.

All it will take for Edwards is MONEY...

Obama & Hillary are moderate light-weights with money, that's it!! (and have republican corporate media support)!

[winga222]

7. Sorry but it's not his job to hand it to Obama

Obama can earn it or not, just like Clinton can.

[terisan]

8. How does Obama's corporate profile differ from Clinton's ?

[Fearless]

9. Right-o!

[Tess99]

10. Edwards ain't goin' nowhere! He's the new Nader.

[Horse with no Name]

14. Nader wasn't a Democrat

Next fallacy?

[Horse with no Name]

11. If you're candidate cannot win without someone ELSE dropping out of the race

then your candidate is not formidable.

[AX10]

18. True.

[robbedvoter]

12. Why would he? he is "Winner # 3!"

[jackson_dem]

15. Edwards just said he is in until the convention

F*** the Obama thugs who want everyone else to get out of the way of the One True Candidate's march. Obama has only himself to blame for blowing it today.

[The Crazy Canadian]

16. Obama and Edwards need to work together to defeat Clinton.

It's the only option left.

[CyberPieHole]

19. Why should he?

Edwards came in second in Iowa. Apparently he will come in third in NH. He has money and support. Why should he drop out for anyone? That's just silly.

[Little Star]

20. His ego won't let him possibly give a boost to HRC

[jillan]

21. He got less than 1/2 of the votes of Obama - so far.

geez.

[knight_of_the_star]

22. That doesn't work

Because Clinton with both Edwards and Obama in probably will not be able to capture a majority of the delegates and we end up with a real convention, NOT a coronation.

[wishlist]

23. May be wrong to assume that most Edwards voters will go to Obama

I know quite a few Dems who have told me their first choice is Edwards and second choice is Clinton so I am not as sure as you are that Edwards supporters will turn to Obama.
