1. It looks the same as WI, OK, SC & TN did..

...that's good news for Edwards et al. Kerry is declining the more people hear him debate. Tjhis has been happening to him every time a debate takes place---his polling number go down.

This should tell people something--John Kerry is NOT the one of the 2 top delegate-winners, who can take on the current President: That person is John Edwards--his time is now!!!!

2. hahahahhahh

It is not John Edwards who can take down George Bush.

To paraphrase: Where's the Beef, John Edwards?

All talk, no substance, and NO FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE. Yeah, that's a president I can trust. One who uses slimy lawyer tactics via Hugh Shelton to smear another candidate (General Clark) while he himself pretends to be sweetness and light.

Edwards would lose in a landslide defeat against Bush. It is time for him to go...especially when he loses ALL TEN STATES TOMORROW.

3. Actually...It looks like

Kerry has climbed almost 5 points from Friday to Sunday...don't know where you get his poll numbers going down

[democratreformed]

10. Yep, that's what I see too. Do I need new contacts? Please say no. n/t

[tameszu]

5. Uh, you read the numbers backwards

Kerry's lead seems to be growing--up to 18 pts. now.

[Nicholas_J]

6. Yup

Kerry is carrying twice the momentum of Edwards with Kerry increasing 5 point over the weekend, Edwards around two points. Rasmussen polls taken over the last few days ha Edwards falling back in national polls.

8. Sorry to burst your bubble!

His time is at least 8 years from now. Sorry but Hugh Shelton is his Edwards downfall and I could only give him an ABB vote.

"A wise friend once told me you can learn more about somebody from what he says about others than from what others say about him. Given what I've heard so far from Clark and Shelton, if I had to vote for one of them based on integrity and character, I'd go with Clark."

4. I fear Diebold has Georgia locked up

Bunnypants* will win in a "stunning upset".

Yeah, stunning like Saddam's 99% "election victory". Yeah, stunning like the 1936 German Plebiscite on Hitler...

7. Edwards is finished, with these new numbers

Edwards is trailing in Double Digits in nearly every poll for every state tom. Sorry to say, but Edwards time has come and gone. I knew he wouldn't give Kerry even a challenge, but perhaps we can put this whole Primary behind us now. I think that will be the only good thing to come out of Super Tuesday. Damn shame indeed.

9. Smoke and mirrors

No matter what they say, Edwards is there to protect Kerry's flanks and back, and will not drop out in order to continue doing so. Prevents Dean from deciding to re-enter as a viable anti Kerry candidate.
