<p>I find this quite interesting. I do think Edwards is the best chance for the Democratic Party to win. The problem with Obama is that he is getting so much hype in the media/facebook/etc. from a younger demographic, which does not vote in large numbers. </p>

<p>Clinton is very polarizing, but I think at this point it will come down to Clinton and Edwards.</p>

<p>In the above article, Edwards was the only candidate, be it Democrat or Republican, to not lose in a projected matchup. Not to mention that he will be very successful in the Iowa strawpull later this year. His financing has been respectable as his goal of 40 million USD will be met. </p>

<p>It seems that Clinton and Obama are getting a lot of money from more high-profile people, but this makes up such a small portion of the population.</p>

<p>Yeah. I agree.</p>

<p>Another thing with Obama is that he hasn't shown much during his term as a senator. He has little to show in legislative work, and his lack of experience might be a burden later on in the campaign. I do like his character and what he has shown of himself so far, but a politician is a politician. I feel like the less I know of him, the better. But the idea of him being president seems to be attractive to voters looking for a change from the ridiculous administration we currently have.</p>
