Obama crushes Edwards by 13 points in Edwardsville. Give it up Edwards E. McEdwardspants!

In 2004 when both Edwards and Obama were on the ballot in Edwardsville*, IL it was none other than Barack Obama who pulled down 64% of the vote to 51% of the vote for John Edwards**. Using my own polling methodology*** I've determined that even in a place that is named after John Edwards**** people still prefer Barack Obama. How much more evidence do you Edwards Cylons need to before you realize you're backing the wrong horse? Now on to victory Obamatons!

* - vote totals from Madison County, IL, Edwardsville is the county seat and I'm lazy.
** - Obama was running against Alan Keyes, Edwards was VP on the national ticket, don't let these facts prevent you from recommending a diary with not one but two "Edwards" in the title
*** - comparing things that are not alike
*** - Edwardsville, IL was not named for JRE but Ninian Edwards, territorial governor of Illinois in 1809
