Will Hilliary throw votes to Edwards to thwart an Obama win?

Pundits have been stating Hilliary will throw voters behind Edwards to stop a Obama win. She is WAY in the lead in NH & she will likely win there, if she can keep Obama at bay in Iowa. By throwing votes to Edwards, she would take a pipe to the knees of the Obama campaign. She would rather compete with Edwards then Obama because Edwards took public campaign financing, and she could way outspend him in a longer contest. This loss could destroy it.

Interesting stuff.

5. Being in a dead tie with Edward, why should Hillary throw votes his way instead of him throwing
votes her way? Is he also a person without class?

11. It makes no sense for her to do that. Finishing third would be bad for Hillary.
If she finished second behind Obama, she would be in a better position to salvage the campaign going into New Hampshire, but if Obama comes first with Edwards second, she would lose even more momentum going into New Hampshire.

10. She won't have to. This is how I always thought it would play out.
The voters will get over their adoration of Bill and wake up and give it to John.

20. No, the idea that the top 3 positions were skewed by outside forces needs to be laughed at.
Kucinich's support didn't put a pimple on the face of this caucus. Those that think it is the reason for Obama's numbers tarnish Obama's accomplishment and gives fools ammo for ignorant opinions.

21. I just remember someone here, in 2004, posting that Kucinich had shown an
impressive 3rd place showing in a late, late primary where only he and John Kerry were still in the race. Third place in a 2-man race.

I think Dennis is great, but his candidacy for president is, and always has been, a joke.

18. Silly. NH is a primary, not a caucus
people show up, vote anonymously and go home.
