Will Edwards drop out if he loses SC?

1. Given his financial resources,

yes, he drops out after a loss in his backyard.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

2. Exactly, how would he raise money for Super Tuesday?

[wheresthemind]

3. with a Kerry endorsement and a promised spot on the ticket maybe...

Otherwise I can see him sticking around.

5. I thought he's rich?

4. I would think so

but it certainly doesn't look like that will happen.

unless he screams or something.

[AP]

6. It would be such a shock, he might have to. Does anyone think he'll really

lose? He's only behind Clark (in the few polls which don't have him in first), and it doesn't look like Clark is coming out of NH with much mo.

[arewethereyet]

8. nothing is guaranteed but he's looking good for the win

I can't see them goint for Dean or Kerry and Clark is imploding.

Sharpton has some support but not enough.

9. Edwards is 1st place in south carolina now

or were you talking about another state when you said "he's only behind clark" ? i personally can't see edwards losing south carolina. the poll with edwards leading south carolina had kerry second.

12. He is only 4 points ahead of Kerry in the ARG SC

Clark 14
Dean 9
Edwards 21
Kerry 17

It would be quite an upset if Kerry were to take it from him but it doesn't look impossible.

7. If Edwards can't win SC then I think he should drop out but

people could say that about Dean not winning NH.

[AP]

10. I think that's true about all the candiates.

Whomever can't win SC should drop out.

:)

[bigwillq]

11. But only one can win SC so

you think whoever wins SC should be the nominee?

[AP]

13. (psst. I think Edwards will win SC.)

Thus the smiley face in my post.

19. I think Edwards is already considering this...

If he sinks in the polls, he will probably drop out rather than lose the state he was born in. But I maybe wrong!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

14. I certainly hope so. 2 IWR supporters would be gone. 2 to go.

I would really like to vote for a Democrat in November. With Kerry, Edwards and Lieberman gone, I could.

15. Survey USA Poll

Clark 17%
Dean 16%
Kerry 13%
Sharpton 10%
Lieberman 5%
Kucinich 1%
Undecided 5%

16. Define "loss."

[Feanorcurufinwe]

18. Loss as in not winning.

Not coming in first.

[JohnLocke]

21. See post #17

[Edwards4President]

17. It depends upon how the results shake out

If he comes in second by fairly close margins, I can't imagine him getting out.

20. Didn't vote this poll because

I don't think we should be telling any of the candidates when they should drop out. Leave that crap to the talking heads. Let's let the voters decide.

22. He said as much tonight on Larry King.

Twice.
