John Edwards, in dead heat in Iowa, quietly starts to move up in NH and SC

South Carolina
Democrats: August November percent Change
1. Hillary Clinton 26 percent 19 percent -7 percent
2. Barack Obama 16 percent 17 percent +1 percent
3. John Edwards 10 percent 12 percent +2 percent

John Edwards moves from behind by 16 points to behind by 7 in South Carolina.

New Hampshire
Candidate November June
Clinton 34 37
Obama 22 19
Edwards 15 9

John Edwards moves from behind by 28 to behind 19.

These numbers make an Iowa win for Edwards much more likely to catapult him to the leader in the first states. But, shhhh, don't tell anyone.

"A new Clemson University South Carolina poll shows Clinton slipping and Obama pulling within a statistical tie. Clinton is at 19%, Obama 17%, and Edwards 12%."

He's moving on up ... and everyone will be shocked!

These are great numbers!! Thanks for posting...

:kick:

Go Team Edwards :grouphug:

so many undecided's will finally
have to make up their minds.

Nothing is a lock yet!
Polls change shift overnite, at this stage!

thanks for the numbers.

:hi: Glad to see you here!

finally got my login

(to post my last few diaries)

but still don't have enough mojo yet, it seems, lol

(still trying to learn the ropes here)

got to see you waiting for hope!

(Thanks jsamuel for the post, too)

I'm sure! - visit the Edwards Supporters Group too - http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=257 There are some really nice folks over there. After you have posted a few replies, you'll be able to do an Original Post - best bet, do one in General Discussion for more exposure, I can't wait to read one when you do post!

Glad to see you too!

:toast:

Huge fan of your Daily Kos diaries, and looking forward to you crossposting them here too. :hi:

I think the more people hear him speak, the more the polls will go up.

No matter what anyone says, there is "still" a race going on, and Edwards is coming up fast! :applause:

I read one poll that said over half the people in NH
still haven't made up their minds!

The only thing inevitable is that the people will decide.

We are growing daily and as a long time supporter I have begun to see it locally and here at DU and at other blogs!

I would cross my fingers, but I better sit and wait! I don't "hope' for anything anymore, but I can WISH!!!

Remember the promise of the Democratic Party?

Here it is.

I hate to admit it but I was
in a DC "prep" school when JFK was in
office. I remember seeing him fairly close.
Something about John reminds me of Jack.

I've thought so for a long time.

If I haven't said it before.

Not only the photo, but the man reminds me of RFK.

with that almost exact pose.

Edwards supporters are free to use any photos I post! That's why they are here.

A few more...







Feel free to use what you'd like! Democrats share.

in a Daily Kos diary last night....they mentioned they saw it on DU :applause: (It was the backstage at Yearly Kos one!)

We need to start a photo album in the JE supporters forum, I see so many great ones, especially from those of you attending his events!

but almost maybe.

of his nomination?? I KNOW the "fix" is in when you're talking D.C. Elites, they don't want him there and I have no doubt that there's a LOT of PUSH by some really BIG Jerks with LOTS and LOTS of moolah doing their best to run him down!!

I'm doing what I can for him locally and maybe I can find other ways to get his message out, but this county is lame when it comes to Democrats. Many Dems just aren't organized very much!!!

where's the rest of the poll? How is the other 52% divided?

"The number of undecided voters went up from the last poll in August to November, with some 28 percent of the Republicans and 49 percent of the Democrats saying that they had not made up their mind. Importantly, the Palmetto Poll asked respondents if they were likely to stay with the person they choose of “change their mind: between now and January. About 65 percent of the Republicans and 51 percent of the Democrats said they were likely to change their mind before the election in January."

In 2004 it was Dean. I'm Kucinich first, but Edwards second.

Of course, Dean wasn't exactly a liberal, either.

He was a social liberal and a fiscal conservative. We see what happens when we let fiscal liberals run the country. We have a $9 trillion deficit, approved by the corporate wing of the Democratic party, so that prevents us from funding our dear social programs.

So, a fiscal conservative is actually a social liberal in the long run. Of course part of being a social liberal and fiscal conservative is being against senseless wars like Iraq. Not only are they unjust, but the staggering cost of $3.5 trillion will eventually prevent us from having single payer health insurance and fully funded social security.

I'll take our A bond rating that Dean left us with in Vermont.

Edwards seems to be the most anti-corporate candidate, after Kucinich that is. Does he play politics? Don't they all, except for Kucinch? He and Gravel are the only truly honest ones. Edwards is the next best choice in my opinion after Kucinich. He's the populist of 2008.

be too happy. What will punditry do??? Go John!
:thumbsup: :kick:

Wake up America. The reason John Edwards is not getting any Media coverage is because the Republicans do not want him as a Presidential Candidate! They would much rather have a first time go with a Woman Or Black Democratic Candidate. There is a HUGE Middle America out there. Unfortunately, I think, America is not quite ready for this kind of change in this kind of Political climate. Karl Rove is snickering. Can't anyone else hear it?
The most important thing in the next Presidential Race is to vote out the current ruling party. IF, our votes will count this time, it has to be a complete, overwhelming victory. We can't have the petty prejudices of this great country polarizing the election. As I said before, I want a candidate that the Republicans will fear. They are salivating and hoping one of the current top 2 will get the Democratic Nomination and propel this prophecy to a lost Democratic election. John Edwards is the man that can do it!

WEhave had a few men apresident that came at the right time for instance FDR...John Edwards ia the man for these times, sort of like after Harding, Coolidge and Hoover. I firmly believe if FDR hadn't come along we may have been a German sspeking nation... from the voice of experience. I was around to see FDR work his magic.

It sucks, but it's too much of a risk to put up either Obama or Hilary as a candidate. Too many people hate her and not enough swing voters would be prepared to vote for a black candidate.

There's too much at stake, IMO

Must I say it? Must I?

to have a Democratic breast cancer survivor in the White House.

hand, CNN interviewed some "undecided" Republicans after the debate it sponsored tonight, and the first person they interviewed was asked who she'd vote for after watching the Republican candidates debate, and she shocked the shit out of CNN by saying: "JOHN EDWARDS". That's not only a reflection on what a bunch of jerkoff idiots the Republican candidates are, but a reflection that Edwards has a broader appeal than he's been given credit for.

Just spent TG with my immediate family for the first time seeing them in 5 years. My mother is so brainwashed by FOX noise that she cannot be recovered. My Dad is more approachable, but he is borderline senile. In his lucid moments, he gets my issues. But he has moments/episodes that freak us all out.

Anyway, I trust either an Edwards or Kucinich ticket for real change. I don't foresee any radical change coming from any of the other Democratic candidates. That's just my opinion. Amerika has been told otherwise.

Go John Go!

John might just surprise everyone in Iowa. He is a good guy.

How are people being so duped?

DSB

I really can't see Edwards being able to take even a convincing victory in Iowa to suddenly pool together a nationwide organization in a few weeks. He doesn't even have a presence in huge states like California, which require alot of coordination.

I live in Los Angeles and I'm involved in his campaign here. He has a huge grassroots network. He's in California a LOT. To say he doesn't have a presence here is entirely incorrect.

Remeber we democrats in the south know how to streach the money, and make it work for us, I see John already showing signs of an excellent money manager. After all, he had to pay for his education and other need, unlike the republican sons who only have to stick their hands in daddy's pockets.

we have a great organization here with really enthusiastic support ready to go for him!

It's about time! People are starting to pay attention and that can only be good for JRE.

I think all the pundits are going to be in for a surprise come January.

:toast:

strategty, platform, and message.

Making gains at this time, in the most historic primary ever.....especially when fighting for $$$......makes all of this even sweeter. :bounce: :bounce:


I am a sweet loving person.....

:donut:


:patriot:


:hi:

mmmmmm...:donut:

:hi:

but now I see how he has carefully planned every little detail. The man is focused. He really wants to be our President!

months after the others. This will definitely help!

John Edwards all the way!!!!!!!!!!!

He will do well in Iowa

And welcome, if I have not said it before.

I believe that JE has the best chance to win not only our party's nomination, but the GE as well.

Sadly, DK has not the deep enough pockets or the M$M buy in to compete nationally. Hillary is starting to fade (thankfully) and I think John will be the surprise winner in Iowa.

Next to Gore/Kucinich - John has been my best compromise vote. If he ended up with our nomination, I'd work on his behalf without hesitation.

does.

Other options could be a disaster for our party and our country.

Edwards is my fall-back from Kucinich as well.

He certainly could use a poll boost somewhere.

3-way Democratic dead heat in Iowa

Tied, that is, if you take the margin of error into account.

:dem:

Love it.

Go John, GO!

I'm rootin' for ya John!!!

Make sure you vote for OBAMA.

make sure you vote for Hillary.

climbing!!!!:woohoo:

I just hope the rest of the country realises he is the only real choice!

I am most likely going to vote for John Edwards, but sadly I think he will lose early in the race. This past summer I went to see him speak, I volunteered for his campaign by signing some clipboard being held by a volunteer. After not hearing anything I volunteered again, and then for a third time. I received 1 e-mail from his campaign asking for help in New Hampshire. It did not list dates, times, or events, just mentioned they would need help in New Hampshire in the next few weeks. (I'm from Massachusetts). I e-mailed back requesting some dates, times, etc, and then I received no more e-mails from the campaign ever, this was even after I stated that my girlfriend goes to University of New Hampshire and we know quite a few College Democrats who could volunteer. Meanwhile, I never volunteered for Hilary's campaign, I receive e-mails from her on a regular basis, robo-phone calls, and letters through the mail. With all due respect to Edwards, if you can't run a campaign how can you run the country. I'll still vote for him because he represents what I feel are the core values of the party, but he will not win sadly.
