Yep, Edwards was their target when there were three Dems left...
Now it is Obama with two. It will be Hillary when there is one.

They go after their least desirable candidate first. With Edwards, it was about keeping his stances on issues alive to keep him in the race (not so much he himself getting nominated). In the case of Obama, he IS the more popular choice by the votes and delegate counts to be our candidate. Using this false indicator that he'd be "less likely to win" by the manipulative media polls is something we shouldn't allow to blind us of our choices.
