LA: MRI: Edwards over 50%, leading by at least 11%

After tonight, I have a hard time believing that Edwards can win. If Matt Bevin can easily win, so can Vitter. Candidate quality seems to be irrelevant these days.

I realize that this race is not the same as the Kentucky gubernatorial race, but my point is that I'll believe that a Democrat can win in a southern state other than Virginia or Florida again when I see it. This year and last year, we saw that Democrats (often moderate ones) simply could not win in southern red states, even if their opponent was deeply flawed.

Edwards might be over 50% right now (if the polls are accurate), but there are still two and a half weeks left. I'm guessing Republicans will come home for Vitter, even if they won't admit to voting for him in polls. Edwards could pull off a win, but I'm highly skeptical of these numbers.

Edwards hopefully gets over 50 percent on election day, so Dems dont have to worry.

Uh, you do realize that this will be a runoff, and that if Edwards doesn't get over 50%, it means that he lost, right?
