Mason-Dixon SC poll has Obama, Thompson as frontrunners
Obama led in the new poll with 34 percent of likely voters to 25 percent for Clinton. Edwards was third at 12 percent. Sen. Joe Biden was at 2 percent; so was former Vice President Al Gore, who has given no indication of running but whose name was volunteered by some voters. Twenty-four percent were undecided.

Thompson, a television actor and former Tennessee senator, topped Giuliani by 25 percent to 21 percent. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was next at 11 percent, followed by McCain at 7 percent and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee at 5 percent. Huckabee has gotten strong notices in the last two Republican debates. Twenty-eight percent were undecided.

South Carolina’s Democratic primary is tentatively scheduled for Jan. 29 and Republican primary for Feb. 2.

The telephone poll, conducted June 13-15, involved 329 likely Democratic primary voters and 423 likely Republican primary voters. The margin of error was plus or minus 5.5 percentage points for the Democratic poll, and plus or minus 4.8 percentage points for the Republican poll.

2. Terrific!
Obama places close second or wins in Iowa, which he rides to strong showing in NH, and a big win in SC...and off we go! :applause:

3. Since South Carolina was the primary Edwards won last time
I think Edwards has to finish at least second in South Carolina this time, or at the very least a very close third, or the comparisons between his 2004 SC primary returns and his 2008 SC primary returns could be a real momentum killer for his campaign in 08.

But I still think the 2008 Presidential race is still in it's early stages, so it's far too early to believe anything is cast in stone.

4. I think Edwards is going to have to focus on Obama
Pretty soon. I hope Obama's paying attention to the rear.

5. Miss the NH debate?
Edwards went full-force at Obama and all he had to show for it was, "You've taken about four and-a-half years to lead on the war, John."

I think Obama will be more than ready for whatever Edwards has from "the rear."

2007 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

SC poll has Obama, Thompson as frontrunners

By Les Blumenthal
McClatchy Newspapers

Although it is still nearly seven months off, the first Southern presidential primary is proving a major attraction to candidates in both parties, who are spending extensive time in South Carolina.

<snip>

For Democrats, the most crucial group of voters in South Carolina are blacks, who by some estimates could make up more than half of the party’s primary voters.

Nationally, Clinton leads Obama among black voters. But in South Carolina, likely voters overwhelmingly favored Obama (41 percent) over Clinton (18 percent). About one-third of the black voters in South Carolina remained undecided.

“As long as he maintains his edge in the black community, Obama has the edge in South Carolina,” said Coker.

Earlier South Carolina polls have mostly shown Clinton with a lead over Obama and Edwards still in the hunt.

8. I personally think Obama needs to win NH also and come 1 or 2 in Iowa
and I think he can push that momentum for a win.
