I wish it was Obama endorsing Edwards today.

[sellitman]

Just saying.



:hide:

[ogradda]

1. O, so do I.

*sigh*

[AllentownJake]

2. He would have done it before Super Tuesday

Fierce Urgency of Now...the man doesn't sit still.

[Muttocracy]

3. Obama and Edwards endorsing Biden

:P

just saying back at ya ;)

[ginchinchili]

21. If the Democrats were smart and had nominated Joe Biden,

this race would be over, and I'm not just talking about the primaries. There would be no reason to even consider voting for McCain. And as an added bonus, we'd have us a great, fully-qualified, leader as our president. The Democrats appear to be jealous of the Republican's demise, because they are really turning off a lot of traditional Democrats. This entire country has turned off their thinking caps and are relying on their med-charged emotions.

[lumpy]

27. Hear hear

[Muttocracy]

35. yep, Biden was the stealth liberal who could have won by a landslide

One of the real experience candidates, would run the country the way and appoint people that most Democrats would want, and would have done very well with independents. But the media wanted their goddamn 3-way glamour horse race. I'm happiest with Obama out of the media's three, so as happy as I can be under the circumstances. Tried to let my wounds heal a while back.

Very interesting that Biden hasn't endorsed yet. (saw your other post on that too).

[lumpy]

26. Biden is my man, Edwards a close second. I know their minds.

They have been tried.

[book_worm]

4. I wish the final two had been Obama and Edwards then maybe it would have been

a civilized race based on ideas. I know one thing Edwards never would have played the race card.

[AllentownJake]

5. He would have gotten more

African American voters as well.

[LakeSamish706]

10. You got it, and he would have been much more cordial in the end as well. n/t

[Cha]

31. There ya go..that's the best scenario yet..

hilary woulda packed up that show on the road of her's a long time ago.

[FrenchieCat]

6. Obama did endorse the Kerry/Edwards ticket......

so I do think that it was John Edwards turn to endorse Obama....and endorse he did. :)

[LakeSamish706]

7. Nope, as an Edwards supporter.... I am happy with my new candidate.. n/t

[PatGund]

8. Obama and Edwards endorsing Clark.....

....or Richardson.

Failing that, Obama endorsing Edwards.

But that's not the way the cookie crumbled.

[ginchinchili]

9. The Democrats would be looking a lot better right now.

Too bad Edwards isn't black. Too bad Democrats have made that a primary reason for choosing a candidate rather than the 2 most important reasons: electability and qualifications.

[redstateblues]

20. You sound like a Hillary bitter ender

The media shut out Edwards because he is anti-corporate- his message was never heard. How is Hillary qualified?

[Fresh_Start]

11. me too nt

[nebula]

12. Too bad he voted for the IWR

that is the one thing that killed his campaign.

[asthmaticeog]

15. I would suggest that the media blackout did more damage to his run than his IRW vote.

His apology for that vote struck me as sincere, and I think it actually did help.

edit:sp

[redstateblues]

23. The media shut out his anti-corporate message

[nebula]

28. It killed the Kerry campaign as well

or at least severely weakened it.


it just made him look like a flopper, and completely played into the GOP attack ads labeling him as such. they had a field day with the "I voted for it before I voted against it." the ads of Kerry uttering that statement were airing 24/7.

But thank god we now have a candidate in Obama who is completely immune to that kind of accusation.

[asthmaticeog]

13. Yep, that would be infinitely preferable.

What's it going to take before something like a real liberal stands a chance?

[Andy823]

14. So do I, but

At least with Edwards working with Obama now, he can keep the issues that he was pushing before he left the race, front and center. If he is any part of the Obama administration, he will be a great help in making the changes this country really needs!

[sellitman]

17. I'd like Kucinich to be the Minister Of Peace while they are at it.

DK was my first choice.

[Andy823]

25. Sounds good to me.

[lumpy]

32. Lord knows Obama is going to need all the help he can

muster if he gets through the GE. We have been saddled for too many years with a BUsh who required handling and direction, unfortunately by the worse crooks in USA history.

[Pushed To The Left]

16. Just imagine it happening 8 years from now! President Obama endorsing his VP John Edwards for

President in 2016!

[Moochy]

18. As a former Edwards Supporter

I hoped he would have caught fire like Obama did, but it was not in the cards. The two other, more well funded candidates had more novelty.
Goooobama!

[Heather MC]

19. stop hiding it's ok!!

ha ha ha ha ha TOO BAD ha ha ha ha
Kidding I kid b/c I love
let's keep the most important issues in the forefront
Hillary is still in this, with no sign of stopping

[mtf80123]

22. Change is awesome with Obama

But Edwards... would have enacted TRUE REFORM of this mess we find ourselfs in now.

My choices were in this order:

Gore
Kucinich
Dodd

Followed by:
Edwards
Biden
Obama
Clinton

[WA98070]

24. In a way he did tonight on his plane flying to Chicago he said....

"I have no doubt that John Edwards can be extremely helpful to us campaigning in every demographic. But his passion and credibility when it comes to issues of poverty and the plight of working people in this country, I think, is a message that is powerful and one that fits with the kind of vision I have for America."

[mtf80123]

29. Yes he did...

and for that I am greatful.

I truly hope he gets a very POWERFUL position in this new administration.

I would think he would be either a great VP, Attorney General or Supreme Court Justice.

Actually, I would like to see him on the Supreme court above all others.

[highplainsdem]

30. So do I.

34. Agree wholeheartedly

[AldebTX]

36. It Was My Thought as Well

I admit to feeling a little guilty about wishing the same thing. His endorsement speech just drove home how much I miss hearing Edwards talk.
