Close race on the Dem side and my hunch is that this is what we're in for on Feb. 5 ... a lot of 50-40-10 results with some blips of greater and lesser support here and there. In this case, it's a caucus state, so Edwards' support is understated - even if only slightly.

As for the GOP side, it'll be interesting to see if this is truly Mitt's Last Stand. There's other caucus states coming up, though, and that plays to his strengths. But that only gets you so far toward the nomination.

GOP outcome in South Carolina coming up tonight. Stay tuned. The polling sources have a slight McCain edge and it's apparently a winter wonderland in the Palmetto State and one county is having problems galore with the voting machines. Heh, I thought that only happened with Democrats.
