A path to nomination opens for John Edwards - behind by 5 in Nevada

Barack Obama: 32 percent
Hillary Clinton: 30 percent
John Edwards: 27 percent

MOE 4.5%

http://www.rgj.com/blogs/inside-nevada-politics/2008/01/new-poll-democratic-race-in-nevada-dead.html

With a good showing in NV, he can take that to South Carolina and then to the Feb 5 states.

2. With the current goings-on between Obama and Clinton
who knows. I'll just keep my fingers crossed that he has a good showing!

4. Not surprised at all...
trends are funny things. We'd all do well to stop putting so much blind faith in polls.

6. and this with no positive media coverage
What a victory for the people it would be if he transcended the media and rendered them as irrelevant as they ought to be.

31. Wouldn't that be incredible!
"What a victory for the people it would be if he transcended the media and rendered them as irrelevant as they ought to be."

Transcend the media.
Let it be so!

A new day in America with new rules!

Onwards, Upwards,
Edwards. 2008

9. Actually, they're all polling "Around 30ish"
Since that, rather large, MOE applies to each result individually.

Now, if he'd just start calling for impeachment, he could smoke both the beltway-bots in every remaining primary.

10. Great news!
I expect his numbers to rocket after the debate.

I am suspicious of S.C. though with paperless voting.

Let's have a big win in Nevada!

15. It is pretty close,
Close enough for Edwards to win. But it shows us what the rest of the nation shows us, Edwards in 3rd place. I wish him luck.

18. Where's the tracking that shows how much each candidate's support has changed?
Edited on Mon Jan-14-08 12:02 PM by redqueen
I'd like to highlight that and complain about the media's refusal to report it, if anyone knows where to find it.

42. I know what you mean, and yet
if I donate on this one day, my donation will have a greater impact. It will go twice as far (because of matching funds).

I'm just one person, and I'm unemployed right now. I hope to find a job soon (but worry due to declining economy, etc.) I'm a person who will benefit from a John Edwards presidency. When he makes changes to help the middle and lower classes, he will be helping me. My donation is small, and I can't make much of a difference, but on this one day my $50 will go twice as far. Plus combined with all the other donations from this one day, we have an even better chance to make a difference (and to make headlines!). I like that! I have a feeling that whatever we can donate will help and will make a difference.

I wish you Peace. I wish all of us Peace. I hope I get my wish!

43. Though I have little faith, I'll vote for Edwards just to thwart the evil siamese twins
You know, the two MSM force-fed-upon-the-voters corporate selections.
That WOMAN, and that BLACK man.
