Your prediction for the next two or three weeks?
I'm guessing Hillary hits Barak heavy on his negatives, and invents a few just to make sure. Barak has to counter and will turn off people who support him for the warm and fuzzy feeling he gives them, and Edwards gets to keep his positive message and momentum.

Some people get pissed off at the negativity and go Edwards, some people don't show at the caususes due to negativity and Edwards rises to the top as the less polarised / less damaged un-Clinton southern populist candidate.

What are your predictions?

1. I see Obama as unstoppable now
There has to be something there I didn't see in him, but his popularity will continue to rise in the coming primaries. There must be something about his charisma. Obama is really taking hold.

3. Obama will get a 10 point bump in NH Clinton doesn't have enough
time to deflate that- only 4 days. Obama wins in NH. In SC, the AA community continues leaving Clinton for Obama. Obama wins by 10 in SC. Edwards comes in third in NH and SC. Clinton wins in NV. Edwards drops out after NV. Obama goes into Super Tuesday with the wind at his back, and takes the lions share of votes that would have gone to Edwards. Obama wins Super Tuesday and the nomination.

Obama has handled the Clinton machine just fine to date. Why would you think that would change?

5. No negativity?
I'm thinking Hillary HAS to go negative. And who will she rake over the coals?

11. Depends on what is defined as negativity. Some complain that comparisons between platforms is
negative. I don't see it that way. Besides they all have to wake up to the fact that while the rich have been throughly enjoying their tax cuts, the electorate has been totally dumped on.

9.  I think you're onto something there..
..although I think that will go on for a while... note the news is that Barak beat Hillary and Hillary came in third, not that Barak and Edwards beat Hillary and Edwards came from behind with one sixth of the cash the others spent. Sad days for the US media.

12. Hillary wins NH, Obama bounces back and wins SC, you learn how to spell "Barack."
Edwards doesn't win a single state.
