3. Two good things

1. I don't have to worry that Edwards will be the nominee, thus driving me away from the Party.

2. Al Gore might see this and actually run.

Interesting thing:

Like South Carolina would ever vote for Hillary in a general election. :eyes:

10. Shouldn't have thrown any of you

Edwards is from a Jesse Helms state, all you have to do is hollow to the top of your lungs I'm against it and then you would be another Jesse Helms , the best thing I see in Edwards is the fact he is not a candidate that could win in North Carolina, You have to remember that North Carolina goes democrat at the local and state level, but Republican at the federal level.

11. SC Dems have no memory
