I have to admit bias here. I can't stand Clark.

Heh.

And, yeah, I started off neutral on Clark but haven't seen much to like. Kerry or Edwards are both plausible presidential candidates; Clark and Dean, not so much.

Why is that Clark gets 13% and he's told to wrap it up and go home yet Edwards gets 13% and he's considered "viable?"

(I despise Clark as much as anyone but it still strikes me as odd that he is held to a different standard.)

Joe,

I think the projections are that Edwards will eek out 3rd place. Plus, Edwards came in second in Iowa whereas Clark skipped it to concentrate all his efforts in New Hampshire--and still didn't do as well as Edwards.

NH had been the SC vote more of a shot on the dark.

It seems I can't think and type at the same time.

NH has made the SC vote more of a shot in the dark.

RE Your 2039 post with Howard Dean as a Head Wound. Is there a SNL character in the works called "Massive Headwound Howard?"

Joe

Also Clark has taken a nose dive in the polls. Losing something like 15 points in a week is never good.

Edwards was in Iowa then went almost directly to SC. He did not work near as hard in NH as Clark but finished about the same maybe better.

PLUS never forget the most important thing of all. Edwards is sane, Clark ain't.

Live New Hampshire Primary Election Analysis I'm watching MSNBC -- partially, I admit, for superficial reasons. Anyhow, I find it strange that David Schuster's polling booth report appears via videophone instead of standard television feed. Why? Doesn't the network have the wherewithal to send a ...
