and if Edwards and the Huckster peter out soon after NH, where does their support go?
Outstanding question. Edwards voters are more anti-Clinton than anti-Obama, so they’ll break to Obama. Huckabee voters are a bit different. I really cannot answer, I just don’t know.
Who are the idiots supporting McCain? How many political knifes in the back from this guy do they need before they wake up?
Agreed. If Edwards drops out, Hillary could be toast. He and Obama are on the same page in the eyes of the RAT base. Very few Edwards supporters would go to Hillary unless she gets religion and repents for her vote to authorize the war.
I think Huck’s support would be divvied up among the remaining candidates. Could be that Romney would not get much but that for various reasons the other candidates would pick up varying percentages.
Bump.
Edwards is not dropping out after Iowa, come what may. He is more popular with the rank and file than the media let on.
He’s not Clinton and he’s not Obama. That’s two things in his favor in the eyes of a great many Dems.
My biggest fear is that when the other two destroy each other, Edwards will waltz away with the prize.
Remember how certain Dean looked to win. Clinton and Obama both have a lot more shortcomings than Howard Dean.
Mrs. Karl Marx???
Doesn’t NH have open primaries?
If so, polling likely Repubs and Dems doesn’t really tell the story.
Good point. On the RAT side, I think independents will break more for Obama than Edwards or Clinton. On the GOP side, independents will break for McCain but I don’t think McCain has a chance, even if he does win NH.
Only Indepedendents like this guy, IMO. I cant imagine otherwise
I agree with you. Lieberman’s endorsement probably tilted the independents to McCain.
The Republicans in order of hardest to defeat would be, imho:
A Cheney
B- Thompson
B- Romney
C+ Hunter
C McCain
C Huckabee
F Giuliani
F Keyes
In general the open nature of NH’s primary means nothing this year. There is a hotly contested race on the Dem side. The Dems will vote in it. They will not corrupt the GOP results.
>>These are now the polls that mean something.<<
These numbers are very suspicious. At the same time this poll was taken, Rasmussen shows Huckabee at 28% in Iowa but the Boston Globe says 10% ?????????
Well I don't know but they did...twice...elect a skirt chasing low-life scumbag lying lawyer as POTUS. In fact his co-president wife was a skirt chasing low-life scumbag lying lawyer too. So I worry. Edwards doesn't have anywhere near as many dead bodies in his record, not to mention all the rest of the baggage train. And then there's the media. They don't love Hillary. They do love Edwards.
