13. Look at this weird Reuters story on Yahoo

Edwards Holds Narrow Lead in Home State

14. Story cites Zogby poll...

Not sure if it was just a preliminary Reuters story.

15. ok... here's a question

if Edwards beat Kerry by a good margin (as it seems he did), wouldnt that sort of expose Kerry's inability to win Bush states? I'd think that if this isnt a close thing, it would go a long way to disabusing people of the concept that Kerry is the most electable.

16. Look at the breakdown

He beat Kerry against whites, blacks, and moderates in South Carolina. White Southerners and Moderates are the important voters that we need to win in the South against Bush.

19. Looks like Edwards is the candidate for the guys with the...

...Confederate flags on their pickup trucks.

[mlawson]

18. I hope so, TexasPatriot.

But a lot will depend upon how the media (pundits) spin this thing in the next few days, AND how much Kerry wins other states by. What we really need is an upset (not necessarily OK). Say, Missouri.
