Did John Edwards just say "I just voted for him on Tuesday" on the "Morning Joe show" on MSNBC?

[alteredstate]

Wow!

[rateyes]

1. I doubt it. He wouldn't answer that question on the Today Show

this morning.

[jefferson_dem]

2. That's what I heard and I commented on it here.

Or was it one of those mumbly "thmmm"s...

[alteredstate]

3. I heard it, too!

[datopbanana]

4. He said he was going to eventually endorse the person he voted for

there is no good time coming up to endorse HRC so its obvious he was talking about BO

[ChairmanAgnostic]

9. don't forget, elizabeth and he voted for different people.

come on, this is NOT rocket science. (come to think of it, under the BUSH Admin, even Rocket science isn't rocket science anymore)

and we all knew that Liz prefered hillary's health care plan.

[ellisonz]

5. I think it was them...

pronounced "thim"

[Blomst]

6. He did say,

"I just voted for ... on Tuesday." I could not hear whether he said "him" or "her".

[alteredstate]

7. I almost spilled my coffee when I heard it.

I'm sure we'll be seeing replays of the interview throughout the day.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

8. he did.

first he said he would endorse the person he voted for in NC. Then, he admitted that he and Elizabeth probably voted for different people, then he said "he" in his southern drawl, just as you heard it.

[Califooyah Operative]

10. yep. nt

[Zachstar]

11. Damn Edwards JUST DO IT!

Just say "I like Obama" and be done with it.

[EffieBlack]

12. He also said he was not going to endorse yet but then said

"Barack Obama is doing just fine without my endorsement."

[joeprogressive]

13. We replayed it several times. It was either him or 'em but definitely not her.

However, the other clues made it obvious. Elizabeth has been leaning HRC and they voted for separate candidates. He should have just said it because all indications were there.

[bklyncowgirl]

14. He also said something like "Barack Obama's doing just fine without my help."

He is right there, by the way.

[EffieBlack]

15. I just listened to it again - he said "I just voted for him or her on Tuesday"

He's too good a lawyer to slip up . . .

[hokies4ever]

16. Is Edwards a superdelegate?

[SoFlaJet]

17. yes

I think...

[hokies4ever]

20. Anyone know for sure?

[Meshuga]

22. Yes, he is a superdelegate nt

[hokies4ever]

23. So are Obama and Hillary superdelegates also?

Since Obama supporters are counting down the number of delegates that he needs, this might be important.

[MaineDem]

25. Yes they are. So is Bill Clinton. n/t

[Meshuga]

28. Yes, they are.

But they will obviously vote for themselves.

[hokies4ever]

30. Do you know if they are counted as part of their own superdelegate total?

Probably a stupid question, since I'm assuming that the answer must be yes.

[Meshuga]

32. The NYT counts them as superdelegates supporting themselves.

As you can see in the link below:

http://politics.nytimes.com/election-guide/2008/results/superdelegates/index.html

But I don't know about the other sources.

[hokies4ever]

35. Thank you very much!

You've been very helpful indeed. :-)

[Meshuga]

37. No problem! :-) n/t

[MaineDem]

24. Nope.

He's a former Senator with no superdelegate status.

[Meshuga]

33. You are actually right

And I stand corrected. Here is a list of SD's:

[karynnj]

36. No - he has no elected position and is not a party official

His importance is that there are people - as we see here - who value him position.

[Apollo11]

18. I admire Elizabeth Edwards ability to keep her husband under control.

Maybe she could teach some of her techniques to Senator Clinton? ;-)

[ShortnFiery]

26. Yes, Elizabeth Edwards is "on the record" saying that she doesn't think America is ready ...

for an AA President. However, I'm glad that "indicators are" that John Edwards voted for Obama.

[1776Forever]

19. I heard Mika say John voted for one and his wife voted for the other one!

I think John voted for Obama and his wife voted for Hillary because she was out saying her health care plan was better in her viewpoint.

[calmblueocean]

27. I think you've got it.

It's funny, though, because I've pretty much always agreed with Elizabeth Edwards in the past, and I think she's been flummoxed on the whole "universal health care" argument. A universal mandate to purchase health insurance is not universal health care. Oh well. Still like her tons.

[bridgit]

21. I don't watch, I get my 'cup of joe' elsewhere...

[curious one]

29. Yes, he did.

He is suppose to announce his support this morning on Today's show.

[themaguffin]

31. That's what I heard him say.

[alteredstate]

34. Has anyone come across a video of the interview?
