Nevada is pretty conservative and has large Hispanic and American Indian Population, and I think that these voters would go Richardson .....unless he's not there.

What do you think?

1. I think
They're making calls to Edwards to make sure he stays in.

No Edwards = Obama wins easily in every state except perhaps NY.

Edwards is the key in this race. Not likability. Not issues. Not race. Edwards.

3. Agree.
But Richardson is taking votes from Clinton, not Obama....so don't be surprised if Richardson drops out.

However, I will say that it will be a caucus, so we will have to see.

6. Edwards needs to drop and accept VP from Obama
Kucinich needs to drop also. Let's quit screwing around. It's the corporate wing of the Democratic party vs. the democratic wing of the Democratic party. This is too important to be screwing around. Hardly anyone even realized Dennis is still in the race. He's just sucking up 2% that could be helping Obama. Same for Edwards except I give him a pass up to now because he actually had some sort of chance to win but his pass runs out soon.

4. Edwards supporters
will not flock to hillary... he will lose all credibility if he endorses her and takes her VP. Most will flock to obama... poll it! (LOL - I guess my opinion is just as reliable as polling)

5. One can not really assume who is taking votes away from the other.
They showed a graph this evening that showed Edwards supporters slit down the middle between Obama and Clinton. This forum, evidently does not reflect the view of the nation. Imagine that.

On a side note, I wish they would add Obama to spell check on this forum.
