Edwards to Endorse Obama!!!!!

[Bullet1987]

That's what I hope to find out at 11:00...c'mon Edwards!!!

[NJSecularist]

1. Nobody cares about Edwards endorsement anymore

He's yesterday's news.

I doubt he will have any effect on upcoming voters.

[Dora]

3. I care. nt

[Roxy66]

5. Me too...he's a wonderful man and still has a lot of pull with people like my Dad.

[Hepburn]

8. I care....

...speak for yourself alone, OK?

[SoFlaJet]

11. I'm not so sure it'll have much of an effect either

but I can tell you this expect a lot of incoming from the Clintonistas if he does

[NJSecularist]

13. I'm ready for the smears on Edwards if he endorses Obama

from the Hillbots.

[bdamomma]

18. and vice versa.

why does he have to endorse anyone, if he is so torn between the two.

[Zueda]

28. Which of Hillary's endorsers has the Obama campaign smeared?

[SoFlaJet]

23. yea they're so very predictable

aren't they?...and hypocritical too-what ever happened to the MSNBC, NBC/GE boycott anyway? Now that they're going to be debating on the network they're all OK with it again.

[Tesha]

26. I care. But if he endorses either, I'll be very disappointed in Edwards.

I care. But if he endorses either, I'll be very disappointed
in Edwards; neither candidate can hold a candle to his 2008
ideals and platform.

27. Are you saying, Obama won't accept John Edwards Endorsement?

I was sure he and Edwards were bonded. They attack Hillary like a tag-team. Are you just speculating? I think an Edwards Endorsement would definitely help him for health care. Sadly, Elizabeth's disease parallels the Obama's loss with his mother.

[NJSecularist]

29. I respect John

I think he was good for this party.

But I'm being honest and saying that I don't think Edwards endorsement will mean much - regardless of whom he endorses - at this point. He had a chance a few days after he dropped out, now he has been pretty much been forgotten by everybody but his most ardent supporters, who are likely (or have) to write his name in on the ballot.

[liberalnurse]

31. I'd give him a break.....

We have no control over a terminal disease and I only sense Elizabeth is ill. It could of been the strain of the campaign work and/or she picked-up the flu which caused a relapse?????

I'd give him some space...He has earned it.

[NJSecularist]

34. I do not feel comfortable discussing her situation

And with all due respect, we don't know whether or not that was the reason for Edwards dropping out.

If it was, then he had a good reason to drop out and wait a few days, but we don't know enough about it, we can only speculate, and I'm not going to speculate about Elizabeth...

[karynnj]

39. I hadn't heard Elizabeth Edwards was doing badly - is this conjecture

She has a really tough diagnosis, but many of the experts argued that, though it was uncurable, it was treatable and she could survive with good quality of live for a long time.

Speculating, if there is no information, could hurt people.

[liberalnurse]

40. I find Elizabeth Edward to be one of my Hero's

even pre-diagnosis/illness. I just worry so about her....Sorry it shows. I just felt I was among like peers to discuss the concerns.

[karynnj]

46. I wasn't attacking - I knew you were an Edwards person

and was concerned I missed something

[Alhena]

2. C'mon- that's lame

[MadBadger]

4. 1 out of 3, and you waste in on this shit?

I'm disappointed.

[catgirl]

6. Unless you have a link, you should change your title

[Egnever]

7. I am hoping for Gore

[Occam Bandage]

9. Knock it off.

[TwilightGardener]

10. You know, the bizarre public hand-wringing over whom to endorse

has left me really cold and disinterested in what Edwards thinks, at this point.

[Barack_America]

12. *rubs eyes* What happens at 11:00?? n/t

[Connie_Corleone]

14. I hope it's not Edwards.

I don't think an Edwards endorsement will do much good at this late point in the race.

[chimpymustgo]

15. The ignore list grows.

[mkultra]

20. please add me to your list

[catgirl]

22. The alert button is getting too much use these days

This thread should be locked ASAP. This is what I meant
by posters pretending to support a candidate. Flamers.

Obama on Edwards: 'I Want Him Involved and Partnering With Me"...but for VP?

February 13, 2008 10:26 PM

snip//

Obama has been actively courting Edwards' endorsement, and has indicated the two talk regularly on the phone. A face-to-face meeting between the former rivals for the Democratic nomination was scheduled for Monday night in North Carolina, but was abruptly canceled same day.

"It will be rescheduled. We're gonna make it happen," Obama said of the meeting on Monday.

Edwards has been very complimentary of Obama while out on the trail, and quickly came to his defense when he was criticized by Sen. Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton. During a campaign stop in South Carolina last month, when he was still in the race, Edwards joked about an Obama-Edwards ticket saying, "I'm running for the Democratic nomination. I think maybe he should be running for my VP."

Hillary Clinton met with John Edwards last Thursday, and has similarly said she would have Edwards involved in anything she does in the White House.

[Mezzo]

17. My mother thinks that too

that Edwards met with Clinton, and will endorse Obama because he was the last meeting.

[flyarm]

35. HELLOOO OBAMA DID NOT MEET WITH EDWARDS..the meeting was canceled. eom..

[Mezzo]

45. Let's read for comprehension, shall we?

If Edwards meets with Obama "after" he met with Hillary....and then endorses him shortly after, it follows what I said.

Thanks.

[Renew Deal]

19. You're bad!

:spank:

[DS1]

21. How annoying

[Adelante]

24. Fake titles are a pain in the ass nt

[jasmine621]

25. It would have meant more had he done this sooner...for either candidate. nt

[CoffeeCat]

30. What's going to happen at 11:00...

Thanks for any insight!!!

Sitting on pins and needles here!

:scared:

[Apollo11]

32. It's too late to make much difference

If Edwards endorses Obama, it just looks like he is jumping on the Obama Bandwagon.

Then Hillary will say they are "piling on" and women voters will come back to her.

Now Joe Biden - there's an endorsement I would be interested to hear.

At least Biden has served in the Senate at the same time as Obama.

[DemGa]

33. Not a chance -- Edwards is a real Democrat

I can't imagine Edwards getting behind Obama's pie-in-the-sky "movement."

[saracat]

44. I agree witgh you but he can endorse or not as he pleases.It won't. effect my vote

[jasmine621]

36. Endorsement now for Obama are merely "jumping on the band wagon."

Any endorsement after Feb. is just to keep a name in the limelight to me. Same goes for any Clinton endorsements coming now. It's just to late.

[DemGa]

37. I disagree

For example, if Edwards were to campaign for Hillary in TX, OH, and PA, it could push her way over the top.

41. Booo....

[loveangelc]

42. edwards probably wont endorse until after wisconsin...

[Political Heretic]

43. I just hope its not a letdown..... like Bradd Pitt endorses Obama! Who cares?

Please let it be something signficant.

[helderheid]

47. what's happening at 11?

I hope you're right!

[TexasObserver]

48. Edwards endorsement will matter to about 25% of his former supporters.

Half of his supporters have already picked either Obama or Hillary to back. About 1/4 are still holding out for John or nothing, and about 1/4 will probably be impacted by his endorsement.

Rough numbers, and strictly guesstimates.

[book_worm]

49. Why the misleading headlines, what a waste!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

50. Can Obama have his delegates?
