Poll watchers: Is Edwards slowly but surely moving into 2nd place?
If one believes the M$M, Obama has been the standard #2 guy for months; but Edwards seems to be getting some momentum lately.

Whatta think?

I ultimately think Edwards has the best shot to catch and pass Hillary. I'd love to say it will be Dennis, but I'm being pragmatic here.

An Al Gore endorsement of Edwards could really upset the donkey cart (pun intended).

3. I hope so
Dennis is my first choice but then there is reality, I don't think he has the funding necessary to win.

6. I had the same thought last week about Edwards gaining ground
He's also appears to be getting more coverage throughout the day on CNN than he was before. No link...just my observations.

13. Here is a good article (googled Edwards gaining ground) -
From 3 weeks ago, but lots of good points!

So maybe our observations are right! :think:

7. And he's hardly spent a dime for TV time in Iowa.
Man, I hope he wins.

I could really campaign for a candidate like JE.

8. Yea, I could even imagine an Edwards bumber sticker...
On my car (so sorry Dennis).

It would be real hard to put a Hillary sticker on....tho I'm going Dem in the General regardless.

BTW Mojambo, also a WA resident Hawks fan! :applause:

They lose to the 0-6 Rams at home Sunday, might as well call em the chickenhawks. That would toast the season.

12. Boy... They lose tomorrow... Ugh.
I'm a little worried, frankly.

The running game continues to be a huge problem.

I have a feeling the defense might ballhawk a score or two tomorrow and take pressure off the offense.

Mojambo's final score? Seahawks 31 Rams 17.

I hope...

11. If you're an Edwards supporter you probably think so.

14. Well, if it makes any difference, I think he has a chance to win California
Unfortunately, our primary is on Super Tuesday and it always seems that things are wrapped up by then. I don't know exactly how the primaries work in all the states but it would seem that the most populous state could make a difference?? Those who are knowledgeable about such things please comment.

16. I would like to think so
but the last article I read said he was even 3rd place and falling in his own home state - South Carolina. In my area too, Obama just opened an office in Kansas City and I just got a call about an Obama meeting in Lawrence.

Edwards definitely has a better shot than Kucinich, but seemingly not as good a shot as Obama.
