South Carolina Rising: Edwards Surging in Polls

First, the 90 second TV ad



Donate to help keep this ad on the airwaves in South Carolina.

From the campaign:

I'm contacting you with an urgent request. If we can raise $65,000 today, we can get a great campaign spot featuring John on the air in South Carolina for the last 24 hours before the primary this Saturday.

Can you make a contribution today to help us broadcast this spot in South Carolina tomorrow?

John is currently campaigning across the rural areas of South Carolina, drawing large crowds as he talks about his economic recovery plan for rural America. While one of the other candidates has already left the state, John is taking his message directly to primary voters.

Your contribution today will allow his message of change to reach voters in all areas of the state. You can make a difference by helping us get this spot on the air.

Thanks for your support. I'll let you know how we do!

Sincerely, --Jonathan Prince Deputy Campaign Manager

The polls

Clemson University's Palmetto Poll
Released Thursday, taken 15-23 January
Obama 27%
Clinton 20%
Edwards 17%

Update: Much of the polling is here and here.

In short, I wouldn't be surprised if we end up with:
Obama: 45%
Edwards: 30%
Hillary: 25%

I think that's enough to get John back in the media play and with the bad economic times and the increasingly negative attacks of the others we are beginning to see the possibility of a miracle increasing.


So ... Phonebank for JRE NOW

His numbers are rising, but he needs OUR help to bring it home....

You can do it.....It's so easy......Just go to that site, register, they'll confirm your identity, and you're IN. You'll be given one number at a time...hell, they even give you a script....and all you have to do is call and ask whether they intend to vote and whether Senator Edwards can count on their support!

That's ALL, folks......The voters in SC don't register by party so you may get repubs or bad numbers or no answers....but your main goal is to find out if they're a JRE supporter (or leaning towards being one), which means they're one of the GOOD GUYS, or if they're a repub (BAD GUYS).

GOOD GUYS get another call on Saturday to GOTV; BAD GUYS get eliminated and they get what they deserve....which is nada.
So make some calls......Even 10 or 5 or 1 call can make a difference. John Edwards needs you...so do it.....DO IT NOW.
