Isn't Edwards running ahead in South Carolina

[surfermaw]

My husband told me when I came in that one T.V.Station reported that Edwards was running ahead, I do know he was the democrat that has been given the most moneyin South Carolina.... He is ahead in Iowa, I think and has been for the long run.

9. Maybe he should reaffirm his support for the Iraq

war and trade liberalization and the DLC too. Worked for him that time.

4. He's way, way, way behind in South Carolina.

That's what happends when you poll single digits amongst African-American voters in a state where they make up 40-50% of the primary electorate.

5. Clinton is running 30% ahead of Edwards in South Carolina

RCP average - SC

6. LOL

no, he's not ahead in South Carolina or Iowa. Far from it, in fact.

[BlueStater]

7. More snark

Are you going to get up and do a dance as well?

[MonkeyFunk]

8. Your snark-meter

is far too sensitive.

The simple fact is that Edwards is not leading in Iowa or South Carolina - far from it. It's not snark. It's just reality.

[BlueStater]

11. What was snarky was that little "LOL" you inserted into your first post

Why was that remotely necessary? What's so funny?

[MonkeyFunk]

12. What was funny

was the assertion that Edwards had been leading in Iowa for a long time. It was so far from the truth, I found it humorous.

10. Maybe you're thinking of North Carolina, but he's losing there too

Just by a smaller margin. He might have received the most money there though.
