Reply #1: Those are internal poll results from the Edwards campaign [View All]

[AP]

The article notes that these numbers were higher than other polls in the past, but there's no reason to question the trend.

I think if Edwards wins SC, he gets the nomination.

I think that the public remembers Bush beating McCain in SC in 2000 and there's a popular perception that this is a watershed moment in the presidential campaign. They'll take a closer look at whomever wins SC.

However, if Edwards wins SC, I think the media will try very hard to deflate his candidacy.
