Quote:

After increasingly divisive campaigning, the contest ends: Obama 43%, Clinton 30%, Edwards 24%. Obama gets 3 of 4 black votes. Edwards and Clinton between them split 3 of 4 white votes. In the Midlands, Obama leads by 25; Upstate and in the Low Country, he leads by 5.

1 in 5 likely voters say they still may change their mind, on the eve of the Primary. It is unknowable precisely how many Independents and Republicans may turn-out to vote in the Democratic Primary. The more who do, the better John Edwards will perform relative to Hillary Clinton. Over the past seven days, Edwards is the only candidate with momentum.
