Hillary's brilliant strategy is to help Edwards win S. Carolina
She's not expected to win here, but if Edwards wins, it really hurts Obama. That's why Hillary and Edwards are tag teaming him. Unfortunately, he looks out of his league. I hope this seasons him for a run in 8 years. Note, I still support Biden, and am undecided between the 3 leading candidates.

1. A third place SC finish would be disasterous for Hillary.

11. I meant Obama was out of his league
I think Clinton might ne willing to have onboard as VP, and she knows that if she can get past SC to Supr Tuesday without an Obama win, she'll be in good shape, even if she comes in 3rd.

6. You're right ...
Obama does look out of his league tonight.

As somebody who likes Obama -- I am amazed at how well Clinton and Edwards are painting him as a young man without a clue on how to run this country.

You can't buy experience.

7. It can easily backfire as she would end up third and Edwards second. nm

8. Do you know anything about the electorate there?
Do you realize that 50% of the dem primary voters are African American? And that Obama has the support of the vast majority of them? I just don't see any possibility of his getting those votes.

16. If you buy it.
And if you can overlook his poor judgment in co-sponsoring an IWR with Lieberman and eschewing diplomacy and going straight for bombing all the brown people. I can't. I wouldn't think of voting in the primary for either Clinton or Edwards for that reason alone. And there's quite a few more instances of his questionable judgment.
