1. I thought the Clintons were already down-playing the state...

...I don't think third place would matter to them; it didn't in Iowa...

[Colobo]

2. They don't expect to do that bad. It will seen as a resurrection of Edwards

and a blow to Hillary.

[asdjrocky]

Not that I trust polls-

But I love to see a +4. I just want to break that 15% mark.

[Alexander]

3. If Hillary comes in 3rd it will kill her Super Tuesday momentum.

That just means more delegates for Obama and Edwards.

I can definitely live with that.

[Lucinda]

10. I dont think so. Florida is the 29th, and if she wins it, the press coverage

will carry her over to super Tuesday in good shape. It won't matter if the delegates count or not.

[Colobo]

11. Florida? We don't count!

She can win by 200% and it still doesn't count. Even if Barack happens to win it, it doesn't count.

I live here... I'll be voting on Tuesday, but it simply won't matter.

[Lucinda]

13. Sure it will. The media is going to show the winner of Florida. And its

the last state before super Tuesday. If the gap stays fairly large, it will get even more press.

[Colobo]

15. I think you are overestimating Florida at this point.

[Lucinda]

16. I don't. There will be a winner. The winner will get good press. And it's

the last state before super Tuesday, so the press rides with it a few days.

[Colobo]

18. It could be. Still, we don't count, and it sucks.

[Lucinda]

19. I really think your delegates will be seated. It would be insane to

piss off voters in Michigan and Florida before a general election. I think thats part of the reason that John Conyers and his wife pushed for people to vote uncommitted in Michigan. They were protecting Obama and Edwards by getting more uncommitted delegates, so that they could be dispersed to JE and Obama if Michigan gets seated.

[Colobo]

20. I'll vote anyway. Let's see how things go.

[Lucinda]

21. I hope it's a big turnout.

I have family-in-law there, but I've only been once.
I should be there right now, but I couldnt make the trip.

4. Edwards seems to be getting a second look

That doesn't bother me a bit. ABC.

[Colobo]

5. Amen! Gobama! Go Edwards!

[rwheeler31]

6. Good on ya John.

[Lucinda]

7. Thanks katz! And a few quotes for those who don't want to click on the link:

Obama's dip came largely among black voters, who are expected to make up more than half of the Democratic primary electorate in South Carolina on Saturday.

Support for Obama, an Illinois senator who would be the first black U.S. president, fell from 65 percent to 56 percent among African-Americans, with Clinton climbing two points among blacks to 18 percent.

Edwards held a slight lead over Clinton among likely white voters at 35 percent to 32 percent. Obama had 19 percent.

In the last of the three days of polling on Wednesday, Edwards led Clinton for second place and has been climbing steadily each day.

"If the trajectories continue, it's within the realm of possibility that Clinton could come in third," Zogby said.

About 13 percent of voters in Saturday's primary say they are still not sure who to support.

8. Hang in there, John.

We have your back.

[aquart]

12. Up 4%. 3% from Obama. 1% from Hillary.

More defection from Obama than from Hillary to Edwards.

Didn't Obama's numbers begin to slide going into NH? But they stopped polling a day or so too early so they didn't have it in the polls?

[Lucinda]

14. Yep. Some of the polling had showed Hillary closing the gap.

JE has got to be loving this piece of news!

[Colobo]

9. Yeah!

[NastyRiffraff]

17. I'm squirrely about polls but...

This looks like a good trend. Go John!!!!
