Seem like I'm hearing Edwards is dead in the water. Where have I heard this before?

[PresidentObama]

He's still doing well in Iowa polls, and he's just NOW running his first major TV ad there.

If you think Edwards stands no chance because he's in third place, and isn't raising money hand over fist like Hillary or Obama, look back in your history books.

John Kerry should be a lesson to every Democrat.

The nomination process isn't over till we've nominated someone.

And I have a dozen snickerdoodle cookies from my momma's recipes that says he'll win it ;)

[Basileus Basileon]

1. The 2004 Red Sox were down 0-3 to the Yanks in the ALCS.

They famously came back to win it.

That does not mean, however, that every 0-3 team should be seen as having a good shot to win a best-of-seven. Possible, perhaps, but still extraordinarily unlikely.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. Every MLB and NBA Team That Is Down 3-0 Zip Uses That Card

The fact that it has only happened once in the history of baseball and never in a NBA championship series is telling...

[AndyA]

2. President Edwards.

Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

I think John is going to be our next President. ;)

[BigDDem]

3. Good luck with that!

[jmp]

4. Sounds great to me.

:)

[waiting for hope]

8. I think President Edwards

has a wonderful ring to it - The speech he gave the other day was the speech of a President, did you know - the Edwards campaign doesn't employ a speech writer? That was all Edwards, 100%.

[truedelphi]

11. I did not know that about the speech writing.

I'm impressed.

[waiting for hope]

15. It came from Elizabeth herself -

my copy/past function on my keyboard at work is not working or I'd post the link...it was in Jume on Daily Kos. I'm impressed to!

[Hieronymus]

13. Dodd pointed out again that 50% of Americans say they would

never vote for Hillary. This is not news.
Edwards has the best chance of winning. :popcorn:

[Bitwit1234]

5. Edwards dead in the water?

I think Obama has already been sucked down the drain.

[Debi]

6. Mmmm snickerdoodles

do I get the cookies if I agree with you? (or at least 1/2 dozen if I say that he'll be in the top three in Iowa?):shrug:

Now I'm hungry :P

[rinsd]

9. Every other week, some campaign is "finished"

Last week it was Obama, this week its Hillary and Edwards.

[PresidentObama]

10. Agreed. I think the top three are all in good positions.

Obama, Clinton and Edwards all three have a good chance of winning the nomination.

[hedgehog]

12. As long as John Edwards raises enough money to stay in the race,

he has raised enough money, period. From then on, it's a race for votes, not a race for money.

[polichick]

14. I'm not counting anyone out...

Anything can happen, as we all should've learned by now ~ even somebody new jumping in to upset the whole danged apple cart.

[kestrel91316]

16. Of the DECLARED candidates, Edwards is my first choice.

Of course, that would change if Gore got in.

[robinlynne]

17. umm snickerdoodles! and umm edwards too!

[PresidentObama]

18. Yes after posting this thread, I decided to make some snickerdoodles.

Thank you Senator Edwards for inspiring me to make the delicious little bastards. Just for that, I'm donating another $20 to you ;)

[robinlynne]

23. not fair. I want snickerdoodles too! I'm going to see if the goggle has recipe.

edited: That would be the google!

[PresidentObama]

24. I would give you my momma's recipe. But, well, it's a secret.

;)

[robinlynne]

28. that's ok. I found some. smile.

[ClarkUSA]

19. Not a vote has been cast so any of the top three stand a chance of being the nominee.

What is a snickerdoodle cookie, by the way?

[PresidentObama]

20. You haven't LIVED until you've had one. I made them all through the Kerry campaign.

They were the best part of the campaign season in 2004 for me.

[ClarkUSA]

25. Would you share the recipe?

I'm no baker, but my significant other wields a mean spatula.

[PresidentObama]

29. It's a family recipe or I would. But many good snickerdoodle recipes are available.

Google it!

:)

[Nutmegger]

21. Not a single vote has been cast.

We're how many weeks away from the caucus?

So many are declaring the race over. I think a lot of people are going to be surprised by the results, both on the Democratic and Republican side.

Edwards 2008!

[maximusveritas]

22. He's not dead, but he's definitely on the downslope

I haven't heard too many people say he's dead, so that's really more of a strawman argument. The bottom line is that he's been passed in the polls in Iowa by both Clinton and Obama and trails everywhere else.
The fact that he hasn't run any ads is directly related to his lack of funds. That'll continue to be a problem for him.

[calteacherguy]

26. He just doesn't come across as genuine to most people.

That, and he doens't come across as ready to be President. It's the truth. It's why he's not polling better.

[PresidentObama]

27. Speak for yourself. I could say the same about Obama or Clinton. Doesn't make it true.

[calteacherguy]

30. I think it's an impression a larger number of folks have about Edwards.

Certainly there are some who hold such an opinion for any number of the candidates.

[1932]

32. I think i's something some people SAY. But I think they say it knowing it's not true.

and they say it because they're trying to color people's perception of something that Edwards actually does well -- which is connecting with people.

[knight_of_the_star]

34. Some people say

Is widely considered to be a logical fallacy.

[illinoisprogressive]

31. I think he is very viable. And stronger than many think

[MonkeyFunk]

33. Huh?

He's not doing very well at all in the polls. He's not gaining at all. He's in a deep 3rd place.
