Bully Pulpit

Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Edwards in uphill fight in S.C.

Polls show him trailing Clinton and Obama in state he won in 2004

CLEMSON, S.C. (MEDIA GENERAL NEWS SERVICE) -
Dorothy Jones’ vote for John Edwards four years ago helped propel him to victory in South Carolina’s Democratic presidential primary.

This year, Edwards cannot depend on her vote.

With Democratic front-runners Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton on the ballot, Jones, a black woman from Clemson, said she remains undecided, but is leaning slightly toward Clinton.

“She’s got the most experience,” Jones said.

Edwards returned to South Carolina yesterday hoping to rejuvenate his flagging campaign in the state of his birth.
