We only have a minute to post something now on Nevada, but we'll have something more comprehensive tonight--late tonight--after the SC results are in (and we're into NY on our MLK weekend trip).As for Nevada, it's the death knell of Edwards' campaign. He worked the state hard, ran advertisements, courted labor and . . . was ignored. Getting less than 5% in the state just shows that most Democrats aren't willing to throw away a good vote on him in an otherwise tight contest.
Edwards may yet stick around, just to see if he has enough delegates to be a broker in a tight race, but we doubt it will be that close.
On the other side, Romney, as expected, pulled out a strong win. It will be interesting to see if he sweeps all the delegates. Romney is not stupid--he realizes this is a delegate slog and he's the only one contesting every state. In a close fight, those Wyoming and Nevada delegates the Mainstream Media is ignoring may tip the scale.
Meanwhile, Giuliani has to wonder about his strategy--in a state all the other candidates (except Romney) ignored, he still placed last among them, at a paltry 4%. That's not good. Shows the wisdom of taking a Florida vacation when everyone else is working.

Isn't this like the third time you've declared him dead? We get it: you don't like John Edwards. I'm still not sure why, though. He's a good progressive with some great ideas for the lower strata of American society.
Plus, he doesn't have all the baggage of the other two that will prevent them from winning the general. HRC has way too much negative baggage from her time as FLOTUS and Obama will be doomed by the Bradley effect.
The good news is that you won't be hearing us say anything more about Edwards.
