| 5. He did well, considering Hillary was inevitable |
|
and was backed by Rupert and the Corporations.

when the turnout is 82% higher is it even worth comparing?

| 7. In 2004, Edwards didn't have other candidates tell their people to throw support behind Kerry |
|
Unlike this time out, when Biden and Richardson people were instructed to support Obama.

| 8. That's because the race |
|
turned out close in 2004. More viable candidates back then I guess.

| 12. The race was not close in 2004 |
|
38% is about 16% higher than 32%. In 2004, Kerry, Dean and Gephardt were all major candidates.
For Edwards, he was far better known than he was in 2004.

| 9. He didn't have a Big Money Hillary breathing up his ass in 2004. |
|
She kept his numbers down some, and Big Money Obama was steppin' on his shoulders. I thought John Edwards did considerably well for being the only viable "real progressive" running in Iowa.
