1. Edwards picked up four delegates tonight, Obama nine
So Edwards should quit! Obama is only 2,000 delegates away from the promised land!

2. Yep
Great logic. Guess some people afraid that Edwards will come out the "real" winner!

5. That was annoying.
I was watching MSNBC's coverage, very early in the returns, and they showed a graphic of Clinton 38%, Obama 36% ... then nothing.

So Edwards got... what, 26%? Or close to that? They didn't think that was worth of any screen real estate?

9. CNN mentioned Edwards before HRC/Obama
That's because he was predicted to be #3 in NH, long before the Clinton/Obama horserace was won.

4. And since Romney lost to McCain, Huckabee should drop out
Actually I wish he would - he is scary!

6. At some point, he has to consider his reputation.
You can't keep losing by 20 points or more and continue on without losing your reputation. And I think he will lose by at least that in South Carolina.

7. Clinton went through all the early states and only won Georgia on super Tuesday and went on to win
the nomination.

8. obama leads with delegates, hil follows and Edwards isn't to far back
actually he is close. As he continues to pick up delegates he has more influence in a brokered convention to push the other two for his issues. I was worried about Hil winning because 'change' voters were split Obama/Edwards. But I decided to stay with Edwards. This is about delegates and change. Getting Edwards issues into the party platform requires delegates I think? In a close race the politicians in our party aren't as likely to ignore the voters will as Bush does daily.
