Edwards Supporters, check in.

[JohnLocke]

Two Questions:

1) How do you think our guy did on the Factor (O'Lielly)?

2) How do you think Edwards will do in New Hampshire?

[arewethereyet]

1. here, 1-great as usual 2-better than expected as usual

thats probably 3rd but who knows, maybe a little higher

[JohnLocke]

2. 3rd is probably a good bet.

1. Kerry
2. Dean
3. Edwards
4. Clark
5. Lieberman
6. Kucinich
7. Sharpton
------------
But CW is always wrong, so...

[DjTj]

3. Yay! We never get to check in!

1) I thought he did great. That will pick off some "Joementum" voters, and I suspect there's a lot of them in New Hampshire.

2) We're going to come in 3rd. It seems like Dean is picking up some momentum so we're probably not going to catch him.

Did anybody else notice that there are like 10 Edwards threads on the front page? We MUST be doing something right!

Meetup tomorrow night!!

[JohnLocke]

7. 10 Edwards threads on Page One!

[leyton]

4. reporting for duty

1) Probably pretty well but I didn't see it.

2) I think he'll pull in third, hopefully giving him momentum to pull away in SC, get first in Missouri, and Oklahoma.

[chimpymustgo]

5. He was GREAT. And he'll have a sweet finish in NH.

Third, just behind the homeys.

[JohnLocke]

15. Think so?

[Rooktoven]

23. Almost an exact "ditto"

first in Missouri is a lot to hope for...

[spooky3]

6. 1) I saw the end of it--he did fine, though

it was hard to adjust my nervous system when the camera switched back and forth between him and O'R.

alert state
convulsive shuddering
alert state
nausea
alert state
head exploding

etc.


2) I'm hoping for a strong third--15% would be nice.

[JohnLocke]

8. Funny, dude!

Regarding #1...me too.

[spooky3]

21. hey John, I'm a dudelette! :-)

[JohnLocke]

48. Sorry about that.

;)

[JohnLocke]

9. New Question: How will Edwards do on Feb. 3?

[arewethereyet]

19. he shows just what kind of chops he really has

which is to say, he kicks butt.

[JohnLocke]

10. Where's our champion, AP?

[DjTj]

12. I don't know, but we better keep kicking 'til he gets here...

:kick: :kick: :kick: :kick:

[chimpymustgo]

14. AP - get out here and stand by our man!

AP is probably in NH, going door to door, smiling, shovelling driveways, offering wake-up calls to voters, babysitting, housesitting, whatever it takes for JRE.

That's why we love you.

[JohnLocke]

16. Is he really in New Hampshire?

[AP]

37. Dealing with the other Edwards threads.

I missed O'Reilly.

I wonder what Edwards will do tomorrow. He ended up doing much better than he polled in IA, with Dean doing much worse. I'm hoping that trend persists.

Did anyone hear that slam on NPR tonight? They really went out of their way to portray Edwards as the ENEMY of the working class because he interfered with their bowling. As if, so long as Bush respects the bowling alleys, he's a friend of the middle class.

It was a weird piece which convinces me NPR is awful.

[spooky3]

43. Was the owner of the alley unhappy that he brought in a lot of business?

[JohnLocke]

53. Guess so!

[tjdee]

11. 1) It was oookaaaayyy and 2)Hoping for third crossing fingers for 2nd.

O'Reilly appearance neither here nor there. It was edited and about 1 minute long.

Iowa has ruined me quite frankly. I keep hoping for better than third but I'd be okay with that.

[wheresthemind]

13. He is tied with Kerry as my number 2 guy...

I thought he did great on O'Reilly and will do alright in NH before doing very well all over!

[citizen snips]

17. Here.

I am a Edwards supporter.

[leftist_rebel1569]

18. I'm here...

1. I didn't even know he was on O'Lielly. I'm so uninformed :P

2. He'll most likely place 3rd or 4th, but I'm still hoping for the best :)

[jenk]

20. re

1) Did great

2) I think we're looking at 3rd, hoping for a surprise 2nd

[JohnLocke]

22. kick

[economic justice]

24. Am I Welcome?

I wrote on DU a little bit ago why I am switching from Clark to Edwards. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=199720&mesg_id=199720
I was throughly decapitated by the Clark people in that thread....so I HOPE I'm welcome! :) I may be a "new" supporter, but I will tell you what I think....I think Edwards did great on FOX and I think Edwards will be a solid #3 -- maybe even sneak in at #2.

[DjTj]

25. Welcome!

We welcome all supporters because we were once quite a small group...

The movement is growing...

[JohnLocke]

27. Of course!

Any member is a good member.

[arewethereyet]

29. I'm glad Edwards gave you a reason to pull his way

Everyone can change their mind, even 4 star generals.

Welcome aboard !

[Amager]

26. Right here!

1)I didn't see the show.
2)I'm optimistic he'll come in 3rd in NH

[tryanhas]

28. 2nd

Watch the independents and same day registers.

McCain Republicans all over the country LOVE JOHN EDWARDS.

Have said that if he is the nominee, they will vote Democratic, but only if he is the nominee.

Watch that 25 to 30% Independent vote...

[jenk]

31. that would really clear the decks

bye bye Clark, Dean, and Lieberman

Kerry vs. Edwards down the home stretch. He has the money, we have the power :)

[Awsi Dooger]

30. Unscathed on O'Reilly and high teens in NH

That's probably third, but much closer to Dean and much further above Clark and Lieberman than polls suggest.

Dean's state recital has snagged so much press that frankly I'm ticked Edwards' high second in Iowa has not garnered the focus it deserved.

Interesting that pit bulls like Chris Matthews and Bill O'Reilly are atypically reserved when Edwards is the interviewee.

[jenk]

32. I think he intimidates them a little

considering he's such a successful lawyer, perhaps they realize all the little traps they set for the others won't work on Edwards.

[Victor Wong]

33. 1) Great 2) Great

[Zech Marquis]

34. as a rule

I do NOT wtch Faux News--in fact, the usual Faux News hourly update hasn't been working since last week :evilgrin:

I think Edwards will do fine in NH, as he's going to SC and all points south afterwards. 3rd place in a northern state will be fine by me.I'm REALLY looking forward to the VA primary on Feb 10th :bounce: I really, really hope Edwards makea a few stops in the Hampton Roads area, , along with Kerry and Clark!

You know, I like this group of fellow Edwards supporters :) You guys are COOL, and I'm glad to be among you :toast:

[Lex]

35. Checking in!

I didn't catch O'Really because he makes me ill.

I think JE will come in 3rd in NH, but 2nd would be awesome.

If he takes SC and Missouri, then he's right where he wants to be, no?

[JohnLocke]

36. Kick

[arewethereyet]

38. Hey, check this out, some SC numbers

Ballot Overall White (58%) Black (42%)

Clark 14% 19% 7%
Dean 9% 10% 8%
Edwards 21% 22% 19%
Kerry 17% 20% 13%
Kucinich 1% 1% 1%
Lieberman 5% 8% 1%
Sharpton 15% 6% 27%
Undecided 18% 14% 24%

Hope this stays spread apart. I think this demonstrates who understands race in this campaign.

Wouldn't it be trouble for the General if he places behind the Reverend !

Its the ARG polls in case you're interested.

http://www.americanresearchgroup.com/sc/

[DjTj]

39. Lots of undecided African-Americans...

...we should be able to pick a lot of them up.

[Edwards4President]

54. Noticed something interesting . . .

Both Dean and Edwards each seem to have approximately the same amount of support among black and white voters.

Wonder what that means?

[mourningdove92]

40. Edwards supporter, checking in

I didn't get to see the OR interview, maybe it will replay later. As far as NH is concerned. Probably a strong third. But hey, who knows. I was praying for a 3rd or 4th in Iowa, and look what he did!

2nd would be great, but 3rd keeps his name and face in the news. The more people see and hear him, the higher his numbers go.

:kick:

[PurityOfEssence]

41. 1) haven't seen it; 2) don't want to jinx it

Too busy working to pitch in on all the threads, but MAN this is exciting.

[CivilRightsNow]

42. Here!

1. Great

2. 2nd... 3rd at the worst.

[JohnLocke]

49. 2nd would be great! It would become Edwards vs. Kerry

[anti-bush]

44. Checking in...

1. Didn't see it, so I can't comment.

2. I think he'll be third, very close to second. I really hope for second, but I just can't see it. Maybe if he had another week.

[JohnLocke]

47. Welcome to DU!

Though 220 posts isn't exactly new.

:toast: :toast:

[elsiesummers]

45. Go Edwards!

Great on O'Reilly - didn't let him corner him but more of a softball interview than I expected.

Third or Fourth - hoping for third.

Anybody on the ground in NH? What are you hearing, third in NH?

[SangamonTaylor]

46. i haven't seen the interview (I don't like FOX), but I'm sure that Edwards

will do very well tommorrow.

[arewethereyet]

50. I saw it, you would be proud

you know how its impossible to get OReilly off topic right ? He did it and with ORielly's own question. It was fun to watch because O was really rather careful sine he knew who he was sitting across from.

[Edge]

51. 1-he did awesome! 2-hopefully #1, but I guess #2.

[Liberal_Andy]

52. 1)missed it! 2) 2nd or 3rd!!

:hi:
