Poll question: Is the Edwards' campaign done?
He placed 2nd in Iowa, essentially tied with Clinton.

He intends to continue on. (At least until NH.)

But is Edwards' campaign, for all intended purposes, over?

2. This poll sucks.
Maybe the same poll for the clear losers tonight, Biden, Dodd, Richardson, but your poll sucks. It's too early.

4. Probably Yes. The media only wants Obama/Clinton
and we all lose because of this. Even if you support Obama or Clinton, the media should
not shape our discussions and decisions the way that it does.
We are in serious peril.

14. He may have an out now the the FEC is shutdown and has not given him any money.
He has not recieved any matching funds yet and could opt out saying they wont give him any money because the FEC is shutdown due to the holdup of the FEC Chair nomination.

8. If he hadn't taken matching funds, he'd still be alive. As it stands, he's dead.

9. Edwards is 100% done. Finished.
Edited on Thu Jan-03-08 10:23 PM by antiimperialist
Why do you guys always speak from the heart and not the mind? You love Edwards, I love Edwards. But is he going to win any state? I mean, is he going to win 1 state at all? Let alone the nomination. There is no chance in the world Edwards wins it.

12. Oh HELL no.
He came in SECOND.

Three months ago, everyone assumed Hillary had everything in the bag. She's THIRD.

This thing is just starting.

15. Wow, he was 2nd in a very tight three way race and your underestimation is incredible
He's still going to be very viable in New Hampshire and he won South Carolina last time out and should do well there. Not to mention the strong union presences in Nevada and Michigan... he's still totally a player in this race. Of the big three, I would think he's got as good a chance as any and possibly better than Obama because Hillary may carry some of the larger states and if Edwards carries the states where he looks strong he could be in third in a hurry.
