1. That was really significant to me.
Policy will always be debated, but the themes don't go away. The overall vision is what's most important. How we get there will be something we can talk about, but I'm happy that Edwards and Obama seemed to be going in the same direction.

4. Same here. I think an Obama/Edwards ticket would be incredible!

2. I wonder if the rumor was planted to get a feel of the publics reaction
which apparently isn't too favorable if he does indeed endorse her. In fact, it would seem to go against much of what he campaigned on.

3. I voted for him in the primary and would be totally disappointed if he endorsed her.

9. He campaigned for the polar opposite of everything she stands for
Her lobbyist support is a deal killer.

Forget policy specifics as that will depend on who is sat in Congress, not the executive branch -- how she plans to GO ABOUT the job is as far apart from JRE's position as the Republicans.

21. Exactly. It isn't about policy differences -- it is all about management style

7. One of my favorite debate exchanges
Forces of change speak out and the status quo attacks followed by Hillary's infamous screech owl response about her 35 years as a tool booth operator.

8. I thought that the wheels really came off for Clinton on that one.
It was like a microcosm of why many people dislike her so much. She got testy and it wasn't over policy or passion for changing the country. She was pissed that those two whippersnappers were stealing her thunder.

11. It can't be true.. John Edwards has too
much integrity to back the power ravaged candidate who couldn't care less about people much less the poor.

On the other hand, that would let me go back to my custom Calvin avatar, guilt-free.

22. We have been hearing that rumor for weeks now.
And still no cigar. It's getting pretty obvious that JE will not endorse until after the nomination fight has been settled one way or the other.

27. I love the part where Hillary says
"we don't need to be raising up the false hopes of the country about what can be done" - so inspirational - so what this country was founded upon!

:sarcasm:


I would love if John was coming out to announce he and Gore are running 3rd party, but I'll be happy if he endorses Obama! If he endorses Clinton - he better be dropping a BOMBSHELL about Obama, because I will be shocked to see him support her without one, after their strong differences.

28. If we went by rumor, Edwards would've endorsed Clinton prior to Wisconsin.
Anyone remember that? Right before the primaries in Virginia, Maryland and DC there was a rumor Edwards would endorse Clinton. He'd keep the endorsement until after those states, though, because its impact would be bigger in Wisconsin. So...where is that endorsement?
