1. SC, Jan. 26
His greatest opportunity. Hopefully a strong show in Nevada, 2nd or close 3rd, will give him a push to win in SC.

2. I can't see any
NV? Nope, it favors Clinton and then Obama. He doesn't have much support there. SC? Potentially even worse. He has little AA support and it is very unlikely he'll gain it.

4. I'd put my money on SC for Edwards...
He has a homefield advantage of sorts, having been born in SC, but NV could also be strong for him, given all of the union activity.

5. I don't see it.
In SC, 50% of the voters are African American. He has virtually no support there. He's polling at 14% and that's after Iowa and NH. In NV, SIEU and CWU have endorsed Obama, and he doesn't have as good a ground game there as the other two.

6. The Democratic Party in Oklahoma thinks Oklahoma will go to Edwards.
I've also heard California mentioned as well.

7. California? That's exciting.
I have heard both Clinton and Obama for California. Sure hope they go Edwards.

11. I agree that Edwards has a very good shot in OK, but they are not large delegate count.

12. It all adds up, though.
The more delegates he has, the more power he has. And he will continue to build up delegates, whether he wins a state or not. By the time the convention rolls around, all of them will add up.

16. You seem concerned lol I'm no psychic, but I will say this....
Since neither of the other two is discussing the real problem in the U.S. (The Two - separate and unequal - Americas), every second that he's in the race, is great, and I'm donating to his campaign because I hope he's the next president of the U.S. The corporate-rich party has to be stopped.
