Edwards Out. Good for Obama or Hillary?

Posted on January 30, 2008 
Filed Under Democratic Primary

The conventional wisdom is that John Edwards’ withdrawl from the Democratic Primary will be a boon to Barak Obama as the anti-Clinton vote coalesces behind him.  I would hope that would be the case, but a closer peak at the demographics of Edwards’ base makes me skeptical.

Edwards’ populist message has primarily appealed to the white, blue collar voter, a group that has gone overwhelmingly for Clinton thus far.  If that group moved behind Hillary it could potentially blow the race wide open.
