Meantime, John Edwards, who won the paper's endorsement before the 2004 caucuses said he "congratulates" Mrs. Clinton.

"Congratulations to Senator Clinton. I had the endorsement four years ago. I think it's one of the things that caucus-goers will consider," Edwards said at a press availability following an event in Mason City, Iowa.

"It's a great thing for her but at least in the last couple of elections what it seems to have guaranteed is a second place finish in the caucuses," added Edwards.

"So we'll have to do everything in my power to see whether that happens this time."

5. I agree

It's the same kind of stuff we see around here. Many on here aren't willing to say anything nice about the other candidates.

7. It didn't bother me at all. I know HE knows its a big deal.

He congratulated her, commented that it should be helpful, and still managed to be witty.

8. Well now, it's suppose to be about him.

Really, Edwards IS running for the Democratic Nominee and wants to win as well. That's how you compete in a competition.
