Edwards will finish a solid second in South Carolina

[Perky]

I have posted before in another context. Independents voting in the GOP primary were down 55% from the last time the GOP had a contested SC Primary while the GOP core was effectively flat in terms of the raw numbers

That means tha about 100,000 self identified independents did not vote in last week's GOP primary aso they are likely waiting to vote in this tilt.

not this from SurveyUSA this morning:

"It is unknowable precisely how many Independents and Republicans may turn-out to vote in the Democratic Primary. The more who do, the better John Edwards will perform relative to Hillary Clinton. Over the past seven days, Edwards is the only candidate with momentum. "


Go Johnny Go!!!

1. Maybe second, maybe first. maybe second to Hillary - who knows?

[Perky]

6. But I suppose there is no way in your mind that Hillary can finish third...LOL

13. In this race we are becoming accustomed to the unexpected since

the polls have been way off for every state so far.

I would love to see an Edwards win in SC, but I am predicting a second to Obama.

8. And the 10% undecided may help also.

I wish John the best.

He is certainly fighting for us.

Go John!

9. this morning he said that to top 2's bickering allowed him to be the 'Only Adult in the Room'.

10. 42 straight polls have him in third.

The last time Edwards was in second place in the polls was May 23-26. Every poll since then has him in third place.

11. Yes - but its what's happening today that counts - Edwards has momentum!

[robcon]

12. I agree, he's the only one growing in support. But he's WAY behind.

I don't think he can make second place.
