The way forward not pretty for Edwards

From a story in Sunday's paper:

The former North Carolina senator took second place in the Iowa caucuses, edging out the better-funded Hillary Rodham Clinton. He has been able to raise millions of dollars and far outpolls the likes of New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson with a populist message that appeals to the party faithful, especially those hurt by a sagging economy.

Yet in New Hampshire and in other early primary states, supporters acknowledge he's having a hard time being heard above the fray. Pundits don't expect him to last until Feb. 5, when 22 states will hold Democratic primaries or caucuses.

Earlier: Edwards in Nevada.

Bubba comments on that earlier post: "Edwards is damaged goods. He offers nothing that Obama and Hillary can't match, and indeed, exceed. His optimism after the Iowa results had little bearing in reality."
