Are either Obama or Clinton in South Carolina today? Edwards is.
I saw somewhere on CNN's website that I thought Obama had some fundraiser and Clinton had media interviews.

John Edwards is in South Carolina, and drew a crowd bigger than 1,000 people.

And he's got another one tonight. I don't think he'll pull off the nomination, but wow this guys got a lot of fight.

I personally think Obama will win South Carolina, but Edwards should fight like hell to at least get second.

If I were the Edwards team, I'd say ok...let's pour all the money we can into South Carolina, run some upbeat and inspiring advertisements that got very good voter response in Iowa, and have Edwards LIVE in South Carolina. Send Elizabeth and Cate to Nevada, but keep John in SC.

1. Obama went to a college in NJ
It was on his web site. I don't know where he goes next.

2. Oh yeah, that's right. And then some fundraiser tonight in New York I want to say. It's on CNN.com
It just said Clinton's doing media interviews today.

Must be taking the day off.

4. Then he's heading to Charleston tomorrow
I believe on Friday he's going to Nevada to accept the endorsement of the Culinary Worker's Union.

3. Obama is in New Jersey today
Speaking in Jersey City. They are expecting 1500 to fill the gym at St. Peter's to the brink.

5. MSNBC just claimed "no connection" when talking to an Edwards
campaign spokesperson at his event in SC, immediately switched to a story about Clinton, and now are covering Obama's event in NJ. Some things never change :-)

But we know John's on the ground, delivering his message.

Note: Obama is also delivering HIS message, and that's an excellent thing !

7. A reminder that Edwards practically lived in Iowa since the last election.
I don't know what the problem was here, but it didn't work in NH either.

8. Excuse me...........but that is not true
he spent just about 2 weeks more there than the other 2 top dem candidates.........there is a chart on Huffington Post. He was doing other things since the last election and part of that time was spent in Africa.

10. Kerry you are right. SC and Oklahoma are his best opportunties
Edwards' best chance for a strong showing in the next two states is South Carolina. He should look to South Carolina and Oklahoma, which he barely lost to Wes Clark in 2004, which votes on Super Tuesday. If he can have a strong finish in South Carolina and win a state on Super Tuesday he can continue the fight. He should target another southern state that the others are not targeting to try to get a second win. Alabama and Mississippi are good candidates. Edwards almost won Georgia in 2004 but that is a big state and I am sure Obama and Clinton will be pouring resources into Georgia.
