Simple observation, just saying; I think late breakers will go to Clinton.
Leaving GD:P until after the SC primary. But I think late breakers will be "rebels" and vote for Hillary. Everyone is saying it's Obama's state, etc. Lots of people are voting for Edwards because he's the most respectable of the three (and he is, I'm not here to debate that), so what I expect to happen is a bunch of people who are undecided at the last minute (and Zogby has said many are undecided) are going to vote for Hillary toward the end here. Basically exactly what happened in NH.

I don't think this will propel her to a win, however.

Anyway, see you guys.

1. He's right...
...Hillary won't win, but she'll put up a good fight.

Sorry, Edwards people, but I think he might come in third again. I hope not though--I like the guy, even though I'm an Obama person through and through! :hi:

2. Other than bragging rights, SC doesn't mean much.
Before any DUers from SC smack me, I don't mean anything against the State, but that I can't see any circumstances where a Dem ever wins SC in the General. I used to live in SC, and now live in Ga. The same thing exists here. The only way a Dem would ever win Ga. in the General is if there was a terrible heavy snow, and the only people who could get to the polls were from inner city Atlanta and near the campus in Athens where they can walk to the polls to vote. Somehow I just don't see that happening in Ga. in Nov!

3. In most states you would be right
But not in SC. I expect Edwards to get more of those votes than Clinton. Edwards has the home-field advantage especially since Clinton has left the state completely.

Obama will obviously win the state overall though.

4. The telling one for me in that poll was.........................

Experience : Clinton 73%

They don't think Obama is experienced at all. The experience thing is clearly Hillary's by a mile.

6. With Edwards surging it seems likely they will break for Edwards, not the celebrity candidates
