What will it do to the race if Obama and Edwards place
first and second in NV? And it could be that Edwards could place first. How big a blow is that to Clinton? Does it set up Edwards for a second in SC? (Sorry, Edwards folks, but I don't see any way he can win in SC)

She'll win in MI, but that's not really a win as neither Edwards or Obama are on the ballot and as the delegates don't count.

If she goes into Super Tuesday with one win and 3 losses, does that diminish her pretty strong advantage?

1. "And it could be that Edwards could place first."
Do I hear the sound of heads exploding?

2. not mine, I'm fine with that as long as Obama places 2nd.
I don't actually see Edwards placing first because of the CWU endorsement, but who knows? I just don't want Clinton as the nominee.

4. It's sure a hell of a surprise to me
I'd be happy to see Clinton in third, though.

5. I would think that 3rd in NV and SC would leave quite a mark

6. Let's hope it happens. Both Obama and Edwards have been
much better candidates. By far.

8. Finish 1st and 2nd? Doubtful.
I don't see them splitting the gullible and naive vote, that block will swing one way or the other.

9. Yeah, nearly 60% of Nevada dems are just stupid because they
don't support your candidate. You go, MP.

15. Thanks for not posting racist crap saying Obama supporters
are "shucking and jiving". I appreciate your not putting that crap in my thread. And provide a link to where I called you a racist, please.

10. I'm not counting on Hillary to "win" Michigan. My money is on “Uncommitted.” How much "big mo" does
Hillary get from placing second to none-of-the-above in a contest where no delegates will be awarded?

I have fallen off the Kucinich bandwagon, but I'd still vote for Kucinich in Michigan.

11. I don't think it'll do quite as much as I'd hope.

12. I think things won't sort out til Feb 5
None of the three will be counted out until the results of all those contests are known.

Selfishly, I hope it goes to February 10 but that remains to be seen.

14. Selfishly, I hope it goes to March 4
I've never voted in a primary where it counted.
