Where will Edwards finish in the SC primary?

[kentuck]

The last time he ran in a primary in SC, he beat John Kerry by over 40,000 votes. Most of the time, when people vote for a candidate one time, they feel they have an investment in that candidate. In my opinion, that is why John McCain won NH. He had previously beaten GWB there in 2000 by 19 points. Will John Edwards see a similar result in SC?

1. Second after Obama.

When Hillary finishes third it will effectively be the end of her campaign.

2. That would be a good thing.

But I'd rather see Edwards win this one, and Obama come in second, because we do NOT need a nominee in January. Or February. Or March, etc. The end of August would be better for everyone. So Hillary done, great. Obama, Edwards, and Kucinich continuing on, even better. Hell we might actually get a debate with REAL issues discussed instead of DLC/corporatist talking points.

7. I fail to see

how several months of campaigning against another Democrat will be better for the nominee than raising money and uniting against the Republicans.

3. edwards will take SC

10. I think he's going to eke a win with Obama 2nd Hillary last

4. When he fails there, he should get out, and let the "serious" candidates run.

Right now it's just a vanity campaign.

5. First

8. not in this lifetime. He's polling at 14%

Obama is polling over 40% and Clinton is polling somewhere in the high twenties. The AA community makes up 50% of dem primary voters. JE has virtually no support from that community. He'll finish third. With some luck it could be within 5 points or so of the second place finisher.

14. What is the AA community? nt

15. African American n/t

6. First or second ...

him and Obama both have a good chance.

9. Do you have anything at all to back up the claim that most

people stick with a candidate they've previously supported? JE is polling in the midteens. He has no AA support and with Clinton and Obama in the race has little chance of winning them over. The white vote is split 3 ways, and Clinton gets the lions share of women according to current polling.

11. My guess is third

I'm in NC and I think people are putting too much emphasis on the fact that he's from the south.

[winter999]

12. I agree. After is former running mate dissed him, it's all over but the crime.

[Seabiscuit]

13. Somewhere in the top three? Doesn't matter as long as he picks up delegates. nt
