1. Fascinating....

NOT! :eyes:

[AP]

2. Most importantly, with linear increase in awareness, Edwards's appeal

increases exponentially.

Which is whay Edwards closed the gap to Kerry by 30+ points in a week, and stands a chance of closing gaps everywhere.

3. let us not forget

This primary was open to Independants and Republicans.

[AP]

5. Yeah, let us not forget that Edwards does well with Independants and

moderate Republicans.

Democrats, if your state doesn't let them vote in the primaries, remember: they vote in the general election.

If you care about electability (as many Kerry supporters do) consider this fact.

9. Why would people

who are happy with Bush, vote for Edwards? *gasp* ;)

4. No, that would be the power of media adulation.

I guess the media love democrats now, or maybe they are just overpowered by Edwards charm.

[AP]

6. Both Russert and Nagourney said Edwards should drop out after WI

because he doesn't have a chance. With friends like these...

[sadiesworld]

7. A couple of whores out of hundreds suggest Edwards should drop out ...

does not a smear campaign make.
