John Edwards Lives!
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080124/pl_nm/usa_politics_poll_dc_2


Obama's lead dipped three points overnight to give him a 39 percent to 24 percent edge over Clinton in the rolling tracking poll. John Edwards climbed four points to reach 19 percent -- within striking distance of Clinton and second place.

The poll has a margin of error of 3.4 percentage points.

The shifts have occurred since Monday night's angry debate in Myrtle Beach, where Obama and Clinton traded harsh accusations about their records and Edwards chastised the pair for squabbling.

Since then, Obama and Clinton have cranked up their bitter fight for the Democratic nomination in November's election to succeed President George W. Bush. Both candidates prepared harsh radio ads in South Carolina on Wednesday attacking each other.

"Since the debate, Obama and Clinton have dropped and Edwards has been rising," said pollster John Zogby. "There is definitely some movement here."

EDWARDS CLIMBS

In the last of the three days of polling on Wednesday, Edwards led Clinton for second place and has been climbing steadily each day.

"If the trajectories continue, it's within the realm of possibility that Clinton could come in third," Zogby said.

1. I'd like to see him knock the kids back into the corner, where they belong.
He was dead on right. There isn't time for this shit. We can't afford it. People are dying.

5. I'm afraid it's too late for Edwards
He has 1 day to overcome a double digit deficit and then some.
Difficult, but not impossible.

9. Hi chris, Edwards has been battling difficulty his whole
career. It is his Hallmark, and why America needs him as President.

7. I can't wait for Zogby's numbers to come out tonight!
He does those three-day rolling polls so tonights numbers will be the first to include only data from the post debate polling. Could be very interesting.

10. edwards is the least of the three democrats the republicans would like to face
in november.

if either hillary or barack get the nomination, the rnc will have a field day.

they know edwards' message resonates with regular folks and msm won't be able to bury him in a general election campaign the way they have in the primaries.

democrats will probably win in november anyway. but if they want a less contentious 4 years after that, edwards is the guy to nominate.

plus, he'd be the best president of the three, imho.
