Her only chance in South Carolina to beat Obama is with the white vote and Edwards is right now taking a significant chunk of it. Obama will most likely get margins greater than 70% of the black vote.

5. South Carolina isn't worth it for Hillary to
attack Edwards, she needs to take a longer view. Attacking Edwards won't help her win South Carolina so there is no benefit. Going after the 3rd place guy is a losing strategy, when you are pretty much tied for first or a bit ahead. If she does attack Edwards, I really don't see too many Edwards supporters going for her. If she leaves Edwards alone and he drops out, she will get a greater share of his supporters than otherwise.

8. Hillary remains the prohibitive favorite to win in Nevada.
Don't underestimate Senator Reid and his son's powerful influence with the Democratic estabishment there. Nevada remains a long-shot for Obama, although anything is possible.
