Edwards internal South Carolina poll results

[pruner]

The latest Edwards internal poll shows him still leading in South Carolina amongst "likely" voters. MoE +/- 4.4. (September)

Edwards 23 (23)
Undec. 22 (23)
Dean 12 (7)
Lieberman 12 (8)
Clark 9 (13)
Gephardt 7 (6)
Sharpton 6 (8)
Kerry 5 (3)
Braun 4 (5)
Kucinich 1 (1)

Note that while several independent polls have shown Edwards with the lead, they generally peg him in the mid-teens. His internals are quite charitable. But the trends are interesting in any case.

1. If Dean can finish SECOND in SC he'd be in great shape!

Normally internal polling gives a slight edge to the candidate the results are coming from. But it's good to see Dean in second (among candidates) place. Also good for Edwards too! :bounce:

6. Dean's the only one on TV in SC

When everyone is up, his number goes down would be my guess. When is Clark going on TV in SC? Look at the numbers a few weeks after that.

[Sean Reynolds]

7. He still leads the rest.

Which is damn good since he's from the north and is a 'damn yankee'. Look where Kerry sits. Lieberman of course is up there because of being the Veep candidate in 2000.

[pruner]

8. and I thought Lieberman was up there cause…

South Carolinians love him.

<sarcasm off>

31. for almost a year

people have been saying that they expect Dean to go down but so far it isn't happening. I don't think he will win SC but a good showing in the top three would give him some bragging rights.

33. Edwards has been running ads for a while ... doing well

As I understand it Dean will not be opening an office here in SC, unless he's changed his mind in trecent days - big mistake - Us southerners take that personal ! Edwards, Kerry, Gep, Lib - even Graham have/had offices here. Yo Dean ... you got all that money .... how 'bout spreading a little love down here in SC !!!!!

14. Can't an Edwards thread

Be about Edwards? Why does every thread have to be about Dean? WHY? I don't want Dean shoved up my ass on every thread. I'd like to talk about Edwards on this one.

19. And I haven't

Seen a thread about Kerry all day where Dean supporters weren't inspiring me to complain.

That's the gig. His supporters are doing more of an injustice with some of their attitudes (not all of course). I don't want to look at Dean's issues, because Im so busy wading through the hot steamy piles of shit the leave in every single Kerry thread.

[SayitAintSo]

34. Aint that the truth ... getting old fast....

The Deanie-weanie brigade hijacking every thread ....

2. I appreciate the post!

Aren't you a Dean supporter?

[Sean Reynolds]

3. Yea - probably posted it because Dean is in second place.

;-)

[pruner]

5. I would've posted it even if I weren't a Dean supporter

because I haven't seen any SC polls posted here in a while.

[Meshuga]

9. That's okay...

Any attention for Edwards is good! :-)

11. Edwards is my second favorite right now

Dean is my candidate all the way. I'm a Vermonter and I know he's an awesome leader. Edwards' big hurdle is that he just doesn't have enough political experience under his belt yet. I'd love to see him get Attorney General or even VP because I'd like to see him become president in the future..just not this time.

[w13rd0]

13. I want to see Edwards as Attorney General...

...I think he'd be absolutely FANTASTIC, and it gives him an "out" to stay in the public eye doing an excellent job in an important post in keeping himself viable for a spot on a future ticket...

that's if he isn't nominee or vp of course...

[pruner]

4. yes

Dean is my first choice, Clark second, and Edwards & Kerry are tied for third.

that being said, I'd be more than happy to vote for any of them in the general election.

[Meshuga]

10. I would...

...also be more than happy to vote for any of them in the general election. Thanks again for the post!

:toast: or even better :smoke:

:-)

29. Me too, same order

All will be great for America.

[Rowdyboy]

12. This has the potential to be a

kick-ass nomination fight. We have STRONG candidates, people. Dean, Clark, Kerry, Gephart Kucinich and Edwards are all very, very plausible presidents.

We'll know so much more after South Carolina, etc vote one week after New Hampshire.

[kwolf68]

15. Hmm

14 responses and Dean mentioned in 11.

This isn't a group of supporters, this is a freaking cult.

[chimpymustgo]

20. I DARE all of you the read the dang article.

Can you manage that? That is the point here. Please, just read the article, then comment.

[pruner]

21. what article?

DailyKos is a blog.

the "article" you refer to is really no different than a DU thread.

23. OMG - I was posting quickly, then ran off to do some stuff...

Came back, realized I had posted in the wrong thread.

But do read THIS article!
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A61741-2003Oct21.html

There's another thread in Politics: "Edwards Gets Personal".

Sorry - my ADD is killing me!

[kwolf68]

24. Are you kidding me?

You made a concerted effort to respond to my post, but you meant to post somewhere else?

Is this the best you can do?

[chimpymustgo]

25. Strange, but true. I was multi-tasking. Honest mistake.

Sue me. Geez.

[pruner]

26. LOL

apology accepted.

I've got ADD too.

:toast:

[chimpymustgo]

27. But while I'm thinking about it - do read the WP article!

I pm'd an apology to kwolf68: would I do something that stupid intentionally???

edit - apology to kwolf 68. Taking my medication, and the rest of the night off.

[DemDogs]

28. How many on the payroll? (n/t)

[CMT]

30. sorry but the real story would be a second place showing by Dean

I know these are internals so I'll take it with a grain of salt but if Dean came in second in SC it would be the big news. I mean Edwards is the neighbor to the north, but Dean is a Vermont Yannkee. but it is a good showing so far in SC for Edwards.

32. Planburglar!

All you Edwards supporters have got to go check out the Planburglar on the Edwards Blog. This type of thievery will not stand!

35. come on, yall

So - SC is in the bag. A third is Iowa is looking more and more promising. With that placing a third in NH is almost guaranteed. Then, the campaign will springboard from there, attack the Dean juggernaut, and go on to win the nomination. What's all the confusion about, anyway? Edwards is electible, has a great platform, can beat Bush. Take this guy seriously. His campaign is set up to take down the rest of the field and run away with the nomination. Edwards 2004
