LATE AFTERNOON EXIT POLLS SHOW JOHN EDWARDS PULLING A STRONG SHOWING AGAINST JOHN KERRY, TOP MEDIA AND CAMPAIGN SOURCES TELL DRUDGE... KERRY 42%, EDWARDS 31%, DEAN 15%... DEVELOPING...

[Petronski]

a desperate Kerry could get ugly. er.

LOL!

[GiveEmDubya]

This is positively delicious.

Superman Kerry got a whack upside the head from the good crossover voters in Wisconsin!

[Dan from Michigan]

I totally disagree. Edwards is a political lightweight and his inexperience would be his undoing.

But inexperience is usually an advantage. Edwards could still possibly play a bit of an 'outsiders' card and doesn't have quite the skeleton closet.

If he wins, I predict something of an "Mr Smith Goes to Washington campaign", and voters like someone "who's one of us." over a blueblood.

Not to mention that Southerners have an easier time selling in the Midwest than a New Englander.

does anybody have a link to a place that is constantly updating the numbers? Purty purty please?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Lurking at the lib sites, one will find that there isn't that much excitement for Edwards. Most die hard not on the Kerry bandwagon are for Clark, Dean, and Kucinich, in that order.

In the other big issue on the Madison, Wisconsin ticket tonight, it looks like voters have rejected expansion of the Indian casino on the south side of the city. Very interesting, as the tribe pumped major cash into a total media blitz, while the casiNO crowd couldn't match that spending.

you go girl.

** Was Alex ever advised to put 'ice' on something?**
I'd be more concerned about being put on "ICE" !?

Estrich has been pretty interesting lately. Not pretty, but interesting.

She knows a lot about Kerry and his past.

By the way, listening to Rush today playing soundbites from Russert's interview of Charlie Rangel, I realized something: He and Estrich sound just alike.

Has anyone ever seen them together?

"Was Alex ever advised to put 'ice' on something?"

No, but I'm sure Senator Sleazeball had to ice some things down after Therezzzzzzzzzza got through with him.

Breck Girl 33,594
Ketchup Boy 33,330
El Screamo 16,482

I think it is a mixed blessing if Breck Girl makes a race out of this. On the plus side, they get to beat up on each other. On the other hand, it shortens the period that the GOP gets to beat up on the candidate. Money wise, this is a big loser for Kerry, or Edwards, but I think in my gut, the President would prefer it to be over, so he could really start taking his shots at Kerry.

Kerry's falling off his high horse --- nice to watch.

[Dan from Michigan]

The White House does not want to run against Edwards

I know that for a fact.

[small voice in the wilderness]

Edwards is ready to challenge Kerry to a one-on-one debate so all Americans can see for themselves.

[Kahuna]

Just where W wants to be. No one should under estimate the skills of a Texas poker player. Week knee'd pubbies need to get a grip and let George land the aircraft.

[Salvation]

**Kennedy v. Clinton battle for the DNC**

Very well could be. Neither is a good choice! Hahahaha!

[Right_in_Virginia]

Kerry would never agree to that debate.

[Petronski]

Kerry's falling off his high horse --- nice to watch.

It is sweet, isn't it?

Good to see you tonight.

"But inexperience is usually an advantage. Edwards could still possibly play a bit of an 'outsiders' card and doesn't have quite the skeleton closet."

I disagree. To win the demorat nomination and hearts and minds, you must have had experience with at least 2 interns and one other politician's wife. Advantage: Kerry.
