Did John Edwards win the SC primary the last time around?

[kentuck]

I don't specifically recall but I heard somebody on the boobtube say that he did. Of course, that was then and this is now, but what happens if Edwards wins SC again? Where do we go from there? Granted, he is running behind in the polls at the present time, but Hillary was behind in the polls in NH, as well...

1. He's running behind in the SC polls, or did you mean nationally? nt

[kentuck]

2. He's running behind in SC...

according to the "experts".

3. Yes, he did win the SC primary in '04.

6. I have noticed that when someone votes for a person...

they feel like they have an investment in him or her. They are not quick to jump off the wagon. I think that is the big reason that McCain won in NH. Many of the independents that might have gone to Obama otherwise stayed with McCain because they had voted for him once before....when he beat Bush in 2000 in New Hampshire.

9. The difference this year is that both Obama and Clinton

have strong AA support and JE just doesn't. And it's a stretch to think he'll take any of that support from either candidate.

11. But democrats are notoriously unforgiving when their guy loses

Most dems don;t get second chances..repubes would still run Bob Dole if he wanted to get back in..

12. Soo, by that logic, Kerry's support today

IS the kiss of death.

7. Thanks for those numbers...

It would be foolish to overlook Edwards in SC, in my opinion...

8. Sure......

But the Kerry/Edwards ticket lost the state in the real count......

Edwards is done......even though I would consider him to be

a Good President.

p.s. and I really like his wife, Liz

10. But we're talking about the Democratic primary...

He doesn't have to outrun the bear - he only has to outrun Hillary and Obama... :-)
