5. Some of those "red" states have elected dems obviously

I suspect John Edwards has many supporters in Missouri.

6. As Feb. 5th approaches, those in the 22 states will decide to take the race into their own hands.

And the vote will be split 3 ways. Edwards may win 0-5 contests, Clinton and Obama will split all the remaining contests with each taking roughly 35-40% on average with Edwards taking about 15-20% on average. That means no majority winner.
