Edwards is barely ahead of Giuliani, when considered the margin of error, while Edwards beats Fred Thompson by 14 points -- no mistakes here.

Sure, but Edwards only picks up one point between the two polls. All this shows is that Fred Thompson isn’t as well known at this stage of the game and there is plenty of time to change that.

I think John Edwards’ family was manning the phone banks on this one. Either that, or a huge sympathy aspect is being portrayed (for Edwards’ wife).

Yes. Too bad FO doesn’t even realize Fred’s numbers are based on speculation. Rudy actually announced and is still losing to the breck girl.

Well, considering Fred isn’t even in the race, I’d say the “Rudy is the only electable republican” mantra is now trash. It always was, but now the writing is on the wall.

Later scumbag rudy and your scumbag supporters!

its the sympathy vote vis-a-vis his wife.

but in general, Edwards would be a far tougher candidate then Hillary or Obama would be.
