He is indeed the one grown-up in the race, and the squabbling of the other two isn't good for Democrats overall. Edwards is the best choice for Democrats who are thinking about November. Edwards was consistently coming out ahead of the Republican candidates, and better than the other Dems, in almost all of the head-to-head polling, which is why the recent decision by most of the polling companies to exclude him makes little sense. Democratic voters need to be aware of which candidate does best against the Republicans. He's not that far behind in the delegate count (not counting super delegates, who can change their vote at any time), and is trending upward in national polling. Giving the way things are shaping up, we may have a brokered convention, so the polling companies should re-visit their decision, and include him in head-to-head polling in the future. Besides, we've only had a few primaries so far, and lots could change between now and the convention. CNN are you listening? Good for Edwards!

I would vote for McCain, but if Romney is the choice, I would vote for Obama, if it is Clinton - I hope a third party choice rises from the ashes.

They see the Clinton-Obama spat as the dominant political back-and-forth. Edwards was the first and most consistent candidate to "attack" Hillary on the campaign trail. His finishes in New Hampshire and Nevada confirmed that his ground support is small. He has benefited the most from the Obama-Clinton spat in SC. If Edwards doesn't win SC, he is definitely out of the race. If you can't win in your backyard with your neighbors voting, he can't win anywhere.

Now he sees people are sick of the fighting, and he wants to be the one above it? What ever happen to the platform he was repeating over and over again about he being the only one capable of fighting? I think Edwards is trying to say anything to get attention.

That will be enough to keep him around, and his supporters will have to wait until Super Tuesday for the big wake up. My sense is that Edwards will lose S. Carolina but he won't get crushed.
