If the media succeed in knocking Edwards out in S.C., where will his voters go? |
|
It appears that the former North Carolina senator may become the victim of a corporate-orchestrated campaign to discredit him, as a result of his acceptance that class is a real issue in American politics. If Edwards goes out, the leading candidates are both committed to an essentially elitist, upscale, "big donor-CEO" vision of politics and society. Can either of them credibly ask for Edwards' supporters(representing at least 10-15% of the primary vote even after the media attacks)to come over to them?
Seems like a tall order to me.

They will wash each other out.

6. I admire your loyalty. And no, I wasn't fishing. |

Just seemed like an interesting question considering the current dynamic.

I cannot, in good conscience, vote for either Clinton or Obama in the primary.
