Romoser on Edwards' future


James Romoser has a more positive take on John Edwards' future:

He finished in a distant third place tonight with about 17 percent of the vote — about what the polls were expecting. He has made it clear that he intends to stay in the race for the long haul. In one sense, Clinton’s victory in New Hampshire is good for Edwards, because an Obama win would have made Obama very difficult to stop. Now the race is essentially back to where it was before Iowa, and Edwards will need to find an opening somewhere. His best chance (which is, admittedly, still a long shot) may be on Jan. 26 in South Carolina, a state Edwards won four years ago.
