From an interview in Mens Vogue Magazine:

Edwards is sipping on a jumbo-size soda from Bojangles’ Famous Chicken ‘n Biscuits in his Chapel Hill headquarters when I ask him if he truly believes a Democrat can win in the South, given how the white working class tends to vote. “Oh, I’ll win more than one Southern state,” he tells me. “I will win more than one Southern state. You remember we had this conversation.”

The latest South Carolina polling numbers show Edwards is being trounced by Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton, the same for Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, well you get the drift.
