An Edwards cheerleader site, the Stinging Nettle, presents what is, I think, I very plausible scenario for John Edwards, despite trailing Al Sharpton in recent polls, to win the nomination. Of course, it all hinges on South Carolina and who gets knocked out in Iowa and New Hampshire. I think scenario one is most likely:
(1) Dean wins Iowa and New Hampshire - Gephardt and Kerry are done. It's Dean, Edwards and an overrated Clark in SC.But if Edwards loses SC he is finished, and if Dean shows reasonably well there, even if Edwards wins, he's finished. And now that Clark has given up on Iowa (a smart move that all candidates should follow), he'll be focusing on South Carolina.
Ah yes, the horserace. Here it comes.
