And the working class labor folks are not a small group who does not vote.

7. Here are four
Oklahoma, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Georgia. These are states he won or almost won last time. South Carolina is a lost cause this time. He has a shot in more liberal states too like Oregon.

12. The last OK poll
He can win it if he targets it on Super Tuesday. He didn't poll well in WI either until he got an opportunity to make his case to voters there in 2004.

Poll source ↓ Date ↓ Highlights ↓
Tulsa-World/KOTV/Sooner Poll

Sample Size: 380
Margin of Error: 5.03%
December 16-December 19, 2007 Hillary Clinton 34%, John Edwards 25%, Barack Obama 15%, Bill Richardson 4%, Chris Dodd 1%, Dennis Kucinich 1%, Don’t Know/Refused 20%

11. Oregon votes extremely late in the game.
on May 20th along with Kentucky. Puerto Rico votes on June 1st, Montana and South Dakota on June 3rd. Even if Edwards managed to carry Oregon by an unprecedented margin, it wouldn't make a difference unless he had been doing well already.

6. The pundits are hard at work tonight ignoring Edwards.
At 12:20 every other word from them is still Obama. They won't give up until Super Tuesday.

10. Just my 2 cents
If NH had gone Edwards, Clinton, Obama (Clinton and Obama can switch if they like), the story would have been "Clinton 2nd, Obama 3rd," "Clinton tops Obama," or "McCain wins New Hampshire."

He's had nearly zero media coverage since Iowa despite placing 2nd. A primary win might get him some notice in a local paper, but probably not.
