Thread Name: BS: 'Mudcat' for Edwards
Subject: RE: BS: 'Mudcat' for Edwards
Of course, I could be 100% wrong, but I agree w/the assessment that Edwards still has a strong chance of being the nominee. I say that because of his strong showing in Iowa, and the fact that it is Clinton who has been losing ground in the polls for months. To Obama, of course. But the biggest upset I think would have to happen is that the Super Tuesday Dem voters will be very pragmatic, rather than idealistic, once it becomes clear that the Repub nominee well might be McCain.
I think most people, regardless of their party affiliation, realize that neither Obama or Clinton can beat McCain. So I think a whole lot of Dem voters on Feb 5th will jump ship from both the "idealistic" (sic) camps of Clinton and Obama, and vote for Edwards, who has a much better shot at going one on one with McCain.
It ain't as easy to swift boat one of the countries smartest trial lawyers as it is silver foot in mouth, not very intelligent (in the Bush sense) Ivy Leaguer like Kerry.
Edwards relishes going up against the big boys. Kerry is one, and not exactly the brightest bulb in the box at that.
