Not sure if this poll is worth much but I have a feeling that WV is going to be problematic as far as PR goes. It looks much worse than even KY now.

I wonder how Edwards would be doing in West Virginia and Kentucky if he were still in the race.

Ahead of Obama, but far behind Clinton.

The results may look like SC, except in this order, Clinton-Edwards-Obama. Same for states like TN, OK, KY, and AR.

Clearly John Edwards' message of economic reform and fairness is still resonating with West Virginia voters even three and a half months after his departure from the campaign. There is no other explanation.

In all fairness I think Edwards' showing in states like this isn't so much "People who don't want to vote for a black or a woman" as "People who don't want to vote for a black or Hillary Clinton"

yeah, crappy poll for sure - didn't pick up nearly enough of the Clinton margin

They did pretty well in West Virginia, but they're still solidly in the "mediocrity" category.
