2. One single state that is representative of nothing but itself,
and anybody actually things that the time has come to divvy up the support? The very first state that has a caucus and not even an actual primary vote? Reality check needed here.

4. Well said..........But according to the corporate media ...(like CNN)
this primary election is over and it's gonna be Obama,vs Hucklebee....
Certainly hope that Huckster doesn't appear on W. Blitzer show anytime soon because viewers might have to use their parental lock out for CNN

3. There is no big compelling difference between Obama and Edwards.
So even in the longer picture, were this trend to continue, I don't think that's the case. Obama was against the war, Edwards has better health care etc, but on the whole they are both pretty decent.

5. Check out who is funding their respective campaigns.
Obama is getting a lot more big time corporate money than Edwards.

Money does mean something in this country.
