RUMBLINGS .... IN South Carolina.... EDWARDS PULLS AHEAD OF CLINTON...LINK
The S.C. Debate set the stage for voters in S.C. to hear John Edwards positions and his desire to make Government work once again for the American people. Almost immediately Edwards poll numbers began to rise and have not stopped yet.

Zogby's comments LINKED below are a recognition that Edwards is MOVING UP FAST ....


http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1433

Pollster John Zogby: “The Democratic race in South Carolina is reminding me now of the beginning of the old Buffalo Springfield song: “There’s something happening here/What it is ain’t exactly clear.”

“Obama maintains a 15-point lead, but he has dipped under 40%, losing ground, including a few points among African Americans. And nearly one in five African Americans is now undecided with just three days to go until the election. Still, his is a commanding lead with just three days to go.

“Edwards, meanwhile, has had his second good day since the Monday night CNN debate, in which he delivered a strong performance. He hit 19% support on Tuesday alone and then 27% support on Wednesday alone. And, on Wednesday alone, he pulled ahead of Clinton overall. He has pulled ahead among whites. Could he pull ahead of Clinton and finish in second place? Even with a strong showing here, where does he go next to take advantage of the momentum?

“Clinton has slipped slightly, and is at a point where you could wonder what implications a third place showing here could have for her heading into the Super Tuesday primaries on Feb. 5. She has left the state to campaign elsewhere, leaving her husband behind to keep up appearances in South Carolina.

“Overall, Obama maintains the advantage, but change appears to be in the air here – there are a lot of undecideds for this late stage in the contest - and we are watching developments closely.”

14. i hope he does, but to act like if he doesn't win is a bad thing is ridiculous.

A second place finish will give him a big boost.

15. Thanks!
I've loved that quote for, I dunno, 10 years now. To me, it helps remind me to use the skills I have, not the fear, you know?

Didya PM Lame54 w/this thread yet? *grin*

20. Remember Edwards declared dead by the MSM before the Debate in S.C.
And now look at where Edwards stands --ahead of Hillary in the lastest poll.

25. He has been frequently running several great new TV ads this week
Thankfully, he did great in the debate, got lots of favorable media attention and also unveiled several new TV ads over the past week to revitalize his campaign and expand his message.
