As a daily reader of places like the Daily Kos where the percentages have always been heavily for Edwards, the diaries written by those enthusiasts were often very down on Hillary. If they represent the 15 or so percent that were Edwards voters in the primaries my guess would be at least 80% of them would be more attracted to Obama. That could be a sizeable surge for him in Super Tuesday as long as too many voters didn't vote early.

The greatest issue Edwards brought to the table was an anti-establishment fight and people that were attracted to him I believe had a natural distaste for business as usual in Washington and for political dynasties. This whole trying to brand Edward's supporters as some elitist whites who'd never vote for a black man is rather distasteful to me. I saw none of that in Edward's supporters diaries.

My two campaign contributions this year went to Edwards. Hillary would be my last choice. I listened to one of Obama's speeches on a conservative radio station on my drive home tonight. He was in Phoenix giving a rally at a huge coliseum and my understanding is that it was packed. At the end, despite the conservative pundits disagreeing with many of the policies he espoused, they all agreed that his delivery was flawless and inspirational. These are not the type of men who will normally give an inch to any liberal.

Obama's the real thing and Hillary should be very scared.
