As you know the following 10 states are voting in 2 weeks: California, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, Vermont, Georgia and Minnesota.
I'm assuming John Kerry can easily win CA, CT, MA, RI and VT. I'm assuming John Edwards can easily win GA.
Here's my question to the forum, can Edwards steal MD, NY, OH and MN away from Kerry, especially OH and NY?
If he can, then I believe Edwards can be the favorite in the March 9 primaries (Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas), and that will set up an interesting showdown in my state, IL, on March 16.
As one who believes that Edwards (more moderate) has a slightly easier road to the White House than Kerry (more liberal) in a national election against President Bush, I also recognize that Edwards needs to win a few big ones on on March 2 in order to meaninfully battle Kerry in the South on March 9.
Please share your thought!
Thanks,

It depends on if Kerry can keep from debating Edwards one-on-one.
