The Times on tomorrow's Super Tuesday primaries: Mr. Edwards, despite opinion polls that suggested Mr. Kerry would dominate at the polls on Tuesday, showed no signs that he would give up his quest for the nomination. And although the Edwards campaign has rarely announced his schedule beyond the next day, it issued a press release today announcing a three-day swing through the states that will vote on March 9. Mr. Kerry, who was also campaigning today in Georgia today, has a three-to-one advantage in delegates over Mr. Edwards and, according to opinion polls, is poised to dominate Tuesday's voting. Mr. Edwards, however, was hoping to score victories in a few states, including Ohio and Georgia, where he was campaigning today. He also holds out hope of finishing strongly in Minnesota... Speaking to reporters after a rally in Toledo, Ohio, this morning, Mr. Edwards said he expected to "do well" on Tuesday but refused to predict how he would finish in the ten states. "I have no way of predicting," he said. "These polls have changed and we've always been going up and surging in the end. We just have to wait and see what happens." While many Democrats believe Mr. Edwards will have no rationale to continue without victories on Tuesday, the candidate suggested he would do no harm, and perhaps some good, by remaining in the race. Mr. Edwards's aides said he wants to continue to compete at least until March 9, when his aides believe he can begin to slow Mr. Kerry's momentum in four Southern primaries — Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida — setting up a March 16 showdown in the Illinois primary.
