February 16, 2004A Strong Finish?The final Zogyby poll pre-Wisconsin was out today, and not particularly good news for John Edwards: Kerry 47% And yet, I sense something is going on that will give Edwards a major boost tomorrow. We have, of course, the usual enthusiasm in the Edwards camp in the final days. But we also have the endorsement today from Wisconsin's largest newspaper, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and another endorsement from the Capital Times in Madison. We have his excellent debate performance last night. And we also have some real oddities from the Dean camp, with Dean's campaign chairman leaving today and several of his advisors talking like the campaign will soon end. Something tells me the air is coming out of the Dean balloon, and that Edwards is primed to dramatically exceed expectations. My guess -- he gets at least 30% tomorrow. Whether this is enough to put him "in the ring" with Kerry, in the eyes of the media, is another question. Posted by William Swann at February 16, 2004 05:14 PMComments
I thought Edwards' stance in the debate against NAFTA was a bit overly populist for my taste. Isolationism is a failed policy of the past, and I thought Edwards was the most moderate out of the three remaining candidates. This did not help his cause at all.
