Ohio: Kerry way ahead, but the poll is too old to take seriously: http://www.ipr.uc.edu/PDF/OhioPoll/2004_Prez_041304_Final.pdf

Weren't these the three states Edwards says he needs to win? What's his plan to turn things around?

1. Let the voters get to know him.

Seems to work pretty well.

2. The Georgia poll is awfully outdated.

It's pre-Wisconsin. The others do worry me though, I guess.

3. He CAN per se

He could win, but it looks like that's only gonna happen in some bizarro, upside-down world.

4. WI poll a week before election

ARG 2/10-11
Kerry 53
Edwards 16
Dean 11

Exact same deficit as in GA.

5. Thanks for the perspective mohc.

6. NO. he did well in Wisc because repubs crossed over

I like Edwards but he is not going to win another state. For some reason the repubs in Wisc. thought that extending the dem race helps their cause so they voted for Edwards. Actually, I think it helps our cause because it keeps the attention on our nomination.

The big question who is the VP. Would Edwards help win more states than anyone else? I'm not so sure.

10. Repubs can cross over in Ohio too(nt)

7. Well, I don't know

What say we hold a primary election and find out.

8. Hey, I like to talk politics

so sue me.

9. I'm going to see Edwards tomorrow afternoon

in Youngstown, OH. On March 1st (night before super Tues) we've got Dennis K at a Rock the Vote event...

I think he needs Geogria and ONE other biggie to stay in play...

11. Georgia and Ohio seem like

the Super Tuesday states where he would have the best chance. How big a factor is the Lewis endorsement?

12. Have a good time, Rick. He & Elizabeth are in Maryland at various

times also and he has an uphill climb but should have a chance at doing well there too.
