Poll question: If Hillary were to drop out, would her supporters break for Obama or Edwards?
Just another all-in-fun DU poll to add to the crazy mix. Even Edwards toyed with the idea today....

CNN) — Democrat John Edwards seemed to suggest Friday Hillary Clinton's third place finish in Iowa may have rendered the New York senator effectively out of the presidential race.

Speaking at an early-morning campaign rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, Edwards pointed to entrance polls indicating Iowa voters overwhelmingly listed "change" as the most important attribute they are looking for in a candidate. That means, he added, there are now only "two choices."

"What is clear is that are not interested in status quo," Edwards said. "They're interested in change. They want to see a candidate of change, and so they now have two choices in making that decision, and this choice is somebody who will fight for the change that makes America what it's capable of being.

So, Clinton eventually drops out; where do her people go?

1. Edwards. Most of her supporters HATE Obama.
In fact, many hate him because he's black, and a few of them grace DU with their presence.

They will go to Edwards, but I see Edwards dropping out before Hillary.
