For Edwards, Nevada could be his best shot -- and his last chance
By Wally EdgeJohn Edwards’ second place finish in Iowa last night makes a Culinary endorsement in Nevada far less likely – if not impossible. Some Democratic insiders have suggested that Edwards’ only real chance to beat Hillary Clinton here was to secure the backing of Culinary.
Edwards is not expected to win New Hampshire, now a battle between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, but he’s not expected to have much difficulty securing third place over Bill Richardson. So Edwards has two opportunities to win if he has any hope of keeping his campaign alive: South Carolina, where he is running a fairly distant third, and Nevada, where he has assembled an impressive field organization.

It's over.
This race is over.
Watching Hillary cry was priceless.
The coronated Queen is an emperor with no clothes.
Obama is the nominee and once again the incompetent NJ brain trust of DeCotiis and the other so called "insiders" don't get it.
Obama is the nominee. Deal with it.
Obama
Obama is definitely the anointed one, opposite of praise-be. Freaking red-tie-wearing thug-appeasing boy. Emphasis on last word.
Too bad we won't have a DEM to vote for.
