Danbury & John Edwards

John Edwards has been considered the most anti-war candidate of the leading Democratic candidates. He was the Senator of North Carolina from 1999-2005, and was John Kerry's running mate in 2004. He has continued to rank around third in most polls, and hasn't really been able to close the gap. He came closest to doing that when his wife announced that her cancer has returned. The following is the latest poll from Polling Report:

Hillary Clinton -- 32%
Barack Obama -- 18%
John Edwards -- 12%

Now, Danbury Democrats have many options for who they would like to go with. Edwards is very anti-war, but he is also big on health care, and many other domestic issues. If that is what voters are looking for, then Edwards has a very good chance at winning Danbury. The latest Quinnipiac Poll has him not doing so well in Connecticut. The results are:

Hillary Clinton -- 33%
Barack Obama -- 21%
Chris Dodd -- 8%
John Edwards -- 5%

If Edwards were to get the Democratic nomination, he would have a decent chance at winning Connecticut. He does trail Senator John McCain in the recent Quinnipiac Poll:

John Edwards -- 40%
John McCain -- 44 %

In Fairfield County he actually does worse. Here are the results from that poll:

John Edwards -- 36%
John McCain -- 48%

Now, John Edwards has shown that he is a top tier candidate. In my opinion he has not been as good as he could be, and was not impressive in the recent debate. Edwards could be the one that sneaks between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and does in fact get nominated. It will be difficult for him to do, though. Edwards does have a chance at possibly running for Vice President again depending on who could get nominated for President. Don't under-estimate Edwards, there is still a long way to go.

This is going to conclude the posts analyzing the top presidential candidates, and seeing how they would do in our city. However, I will continue to post on the election, as this could be the most interesting election of all time.
