|
Edwards is not likely to pick up many states...let's be real. He polling a distant 3rd almost all over the country. If anything, he had the most to lose tonight...not Obama or Clinton. It's becoming more and more clear that Edwards and Obama are splitting the anti-Clinton vote. If Edwards were to drop out after South Carolina...shifting the majority of his voters to Obama...Obama would be that much more formidable.

3. That is the very reason why Clinton won't make it, because either Edward's votes |
|
will go to Obama or vice-versa when the actual time comes

6. Things can change in a heartbeat, Bill Clinton didn't win in Iowa nor the next six primaries.... |

All it will take for Edwards is MONEY...
Obama & Hillary are moderate light-weights with money, that's it!! (and have republican corporate media support)!

7. Sorry but it's not his job to hand it to Obama |
|
Obama can earn it or not, just like Clinton can.

11. If you're candidate cannot win without someone ELSE dropping out of the race |
|
then your candidate is not formidable.

15. Edwards just said he is in until the convention |
|
F*** the Obama thugs who want everyone else to get out of the way of the One True Candidate's march. Obama has only himself to blame for blowing it today.

Edwards came in second in Iowa. Apparently he will come in third in NH. He has money and support. Why should he drop out for anyone? That's just silly.

Because Clinton with both Edwards and Obama in probably will not be able to capture a majority of the delegates and we end up with a real convention, NOT a coronation.

23. May be wrong to assume that most Edwards voters will go to Obama |
|
I know quite a few Dems who have told me their first choice is Edwards and second choice is Clinton so I am not as sure as you are that Edwards supporters will turn to Obama.
