Obama Remains in SC Lead, -But John Edwards is Surging-

Senator Obama, according to the latest Rueters/Zogby poll remains in a commanding lead but has slipped 4% in the last two days. Senator John Edwards is making a strong sprint to the finish actually beating Senator Clinton in the daily tracking poll results from Wednesday, 1/23/08.

There remains a high number of undecided voters that could possibly result in a surprise on Saturday.

It appears if these trends hold, and its anybodys guess if they will, that the negative turn in the battle between Senators Clinton and Obama is sapping strength from both and reminding voters there is a third candidate in this race.

3. Fat Tuesday Looms

Edited on Fri Jan-25-08 02:46 AM by mikekohr

Senator Edwards will be severly hampered in the Super Tuesday primaries because of his lack of money. Even a stunning upset win in SC will leave him exposed in those big media buys.

But these poll numbers reflect an underlying danger for our party in November. The tone in our race for president has to cool down.

This is the most favorable political wind for Democrats since the 1930's. We will make substantial gains in the House and Senate. But we can still manage to lose the White House.

6. OR

We could win the White House, but suffer disaster down ticket due to a divisive Presidential nominee.

OR

We (The Democratic Party) could lose both due to the influence of a "Centrist" 3rd Party combined with a challenge from a AntiWAR/ProLABOR Populist 3rd Party if the Democratic nominee is Hillary.

4. Sweet. Overnight, 4% of Obama voters desert for Edwards.

And 1% of Hillary's creep into Undecided.

Can't wait to see what tomorrow will bring.
