1. Bush favorable

is 55% and Edwards at 47%. You mean Bush is ahead of Edwards in his home state? If this is so Edwards has an uphill battle.I don't think he will be taken serious if he can't win there.

3. Disturbing To Say The Least

Lordy lordy, what is wrong with people?

4. This is a largely

Republican state with several army, marine and navy bases in it. Camp Le Jeune alone has a huge number of soldiers in Iraq right now. A lot of people here perceive being anti-Bush as being anti-soldier. It is really hard for some people here to separate the two things.

2. Note that Dean is running in second place in this southern state (n/t)
