Stop analyzing who Edwards' support went to in every poll
It is stupid to speculate who Edwards support went to, based on a poll result.

Do you assume that even if Edwards' supporters split 50%-50% in a poll, and one candidate happens to increase his lead, then it means that Edwards' supporters leaned towards the candidate whose lead increased?

Until a pollster asks the specific questions to those who were previously supporting John Edwards, you will know nothing.

In the meantime, keep guessing at your own risk.

1. Most of us Edwards supporters are still guessing
We don't know who we are going to support at this point.

This is one Edwards supporter who's support hangs in the wind for now. I may still vote Edwards in Ohio Primary in March because I don't know which one I support.

2. How about I analyze whatever I want
and you don't? Is there something wrong with that?

By the way, it looks to me like most of Edwards' supporters are going to Obama. :)

3.  why don't you just block the threads that offend your
delicate sensibilities? I'll do what I please. You have no right to tell others they can't speculate, and your oblique threat that it's risky to speculate about where the Edwards support is going is a crock of shit. Shove it. I don't care where votes on DU go. It's irrelevant. And all the pollsters ARE looking at where Edwards support is going. Live with it. He dropped out.

4. How about you stop telling grown folks what and what not
to do. That's just rude.
