TOO BIG FOR HIS BRITCHES:

Mason-Dixon Poll: Edwards Could Face Tough Re-Election in 2004 (WRAL.com, October 16, 2002)

While North Carolina voters are focused on this year's U.S. Senate race, results of a new poll showsthe 2004 Senate race could become just as lively if incumbent Democrat John Edwards draws a credible challenger.

According to results of a Mason-Dixon Poll, statewide, only 43 percent of voters say they will definitely vote to re-elect Edwards, while 16 percent indicate they will consider voting for a Republican challenger and a significant 35 percent will definitely vote to replace Edwards with a Republican.

Voters have a long history of punishing Senators who start imagining themselves to be presidential material--the most recent example being John Ashcroft. Posted by Orrin Judd at October 17, 2002 12:08 AM
