Quote: "John who? Does he even matter in the big picture?"

Yep, his super delegates coming to Obama are about as big in the picture as you can get.

Since they will decide the nominee. BTW, he is now almost 200 ahead of Hillary Clinton.

Maybe you don't like Edwards, but his super delegates coming to Obama, is really getting to you Clinton supporters, huh??

He is now almost 200 ahead of Senator Clinton.

Mr. Edwards,
We must express our "extreme sadness" and disgust with your endorsement of the racist Obama after the voters in W.VA spoke in volumes about the concern of an Obama in the white house. You should have done some research since you quit in Jan/08. What about ALL the issues you threw at Obama while campaigning, now there ok with you because you need a job? How sad...We stood behind you twice until you quit the race and now YOU turned your back on those working "WHITE" middle class voters who supported you. It's obvious that you're looking out for your own special interests even after Obama gave you the slap down in a public debate which made voters feel you were weak, even then we defended you while your numbers fell drastically until you were forced to drop out, now you support that candidate who has more friends and corrupt business partners that HATE America, a wife that touts racism and not so proud of America now has you to join in the selling out of our great country. Shame on you! Because of your endorsement my family and friends WILL NOT support the Democratic Party if Obama is the nominee.

You will never again have our support in any election. You know Senator Clinton is the strongest best candidate to help our country. Obama had divided the party in race and cannot win a general election with you and the black biased vote. His skin color DOES NOT entitle him to the Presidency...History will blame you or the democrats losing again in 2008.

You should have LISTENED to your wife! Your problem with strong women is apparent and sad.

We pray Mrs. Edwards is remains healthy. Enjoy your stay as the Osama's hired help and having a part in destroying our great but troubled country with Obama terrorist's friends! You showed the country you're not the man you claimed to be. Thank God we didn't elect you!!!

Since the media has failed voters and Obamas refuse to explain or tell the truth, Maybe you can explain Obamas relationship with Ayers, Gadaffi Syrian tycoon, Antoin Rezko, Saudi Arabian Scheiks and Nadhami Auchi, Iraqi billionaire, global arms dealer who was best friends with Saddam Hussein, and the main financial backer for Saddam's Iraqi -Saudi oil pipeline, and stood trial with Saddam Hussein for conspiring to assassinate Iraqi President Qasim. VOTERS are concerned why CNN & MSNBC refuse to question those relationships, coupled with Obama's 20 plus yrs with Rev. Wright shows a serious pattern, which Obama seems quite comfortable with people who really, really, really HATE U.S of America. If you question him or his values or policies, you're part of the "divisive, distracting" practices voters associate with Washington . Them's the Obama Rules.

Obama's chief political adviser David Alexrod on National Public Radio claimed white working class Democrats barely exist and hardly matter, white working class has gone to the Republican nominee for many elections, This is not new, WE don't need or rely solely on those votes.

Obama wants to impose 20% tax on cost of Barrel Of Oil Above $80 which again drives up Cost Of Gasoline On Americans! why doesn't Obama Acknowledge Fuel Costs For Truckers Hurt The American Consumer? Increasing Cost Of Everything Including Food, Retail, And Manufactured Goods.

Obama Claims That He Does Not Accept Contributions From Federal Lobbyists, records show he has accepted $128,000 From Lobbyists and $1.3 million from PACs, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Obama calls For Higher Income Taxes, Social Security Taxes, Investment Taxes, And Corporate Taxes, As Well As "Massive New Domestic Spending and a healthcare plan that perhaps could be the next step to a full-scale, single-payer system.

Obama Pandered To MoveOn.org By Promising Not To Fund Troops In Iraq In The Future. "Eli Pariser, [MoveOn.org's] Executive Director, told ABC news but Obamas senate record shows he voted against bringing troops home, voted for war appropriations giving our money to Halliburton and Blackwater, voted with Bush/Chaney posturing S433 to suspend any troop withdrawal which keeps the troops in Iraq for a long time to come.

Obama won the endorsement of the Teamsters earlier this year after privately telling the union he supported ending the strict federal oversight imposed to root out corruption.

Obama Said The U.S. Needs To Focus On Afghanistan, Obama has held Zero hearings as Chairman Of The Subcommittee On European Affairs. "Doubts about Barack Obama's presidential credentials have crystallized over his stewardship of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's Subcommittee on European Affairs, which has convened no policy hearings since he took over as its chairman last January.

Obama inconsistent explaining how Genocide in Iraq would affect his plan for withdrawal: Ambassador Crocker said that a quick withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq could result in genocide and if that began to emerge as an issue, would you stop the withdrawal?" Obama: of course. Obama Previously Said Preventing Genocide Would Not Be A Sufficient Reason To Remain In Iraq .

Why Is Barack Obama Silent On SEIU Attacks After Denouncing Similar Independent Expenditures Earlier In The Primaries? Labor Unions And Other Independent Groups Have Already Spent Over $7.1 Million In Support Of Obama's Campaign for the presidential nomination, campaign records show.

Obama's racial stereotype of the 'typical White person' and his view of the 'typical small town person.quoted as disparaging residents of small towns in Pennsylvania as being "like a lot of small towns in the Midwest " where "it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

Obama is unapologetic, even dissing of voters in Florida and Michigan one has to wonder what groups of Americans he really respects?

Racist wife, Michelle, saying she was proud of America "for the first time" only because of her husband's presidential run.

Obama explained he doesn't wear an American flag lapel pin or hold his hands to his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance because it is a substitute for patriotism,

Obama loses to Hillary Clinton in a face to face debate in Phil, next day gives her the finger behind her back in a speech in NC. What a man! And the Obama fans were laughing with him, reminding me of the congregation in Reverend Wright's church cheering and patting him on the back during his racist sermons

TO: Mark W. |
Obama's reference to Hillary's vote was to point out that her judgement was poor in regards to the Iraq war. If you've watched any of the debates you will know that Obama has critized both Hillary and Edwards on their votes for the Iraq war. And as far the endorsement he's waiting for Hillary's as well.

John who? Does he even matter in the big picture?

The media is artificially hyping this candidate. HRC destroyed BHO the other day and I found one or two stories on it. A has been (or never was) offers his endorsement and I can't click on a web page today without reading about BHO's inevitable nomination.

Keep kissing this guys fanny liberal media. Reagan democrats are going to determine the next president and they hate his guts!

P.S., Gov Richardson who?

LOL! An "Empty Suit" with a "Tort Suit"! :-D

"Barry" and "Pretty Boy", Great News!

But, you "Guys" will need to move to California to benefit! ;~)

John Edwards would make a great choice for Vice President.

It occurs to me that the primary effect of the endorsement by Sen. Edwards is to mke it easier for Sen. Obama to be magnanimous concerning the question of Florida and Michigan, knowing that the Edwards delegates will vote for Sen. Obama. Assuming a 50% haircut and a disqualification of superdelegates from the offending states(which seems only fair), the net swing to Sen Clinton will be offset by the pledged Edwards delegates from New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Iowa.

Quote: "Obama can't win any state with a white majority. Republicans won't vote for him either..."

Really?? He won Texas. Black population=12 percent, Latino population=26 percent. Must mean that a lot of whites voted for him.

Republicans won't vote for him either. Will they vote for Clinton. Not where I come from, they can't stands her. Funny that Obama leads McCain in the polls in the GE.

That was nice to see the two together.

What flavour of cookies would these be? Do you know that Clinton possesses these cookie baking skills for a fact? Cookies are delicious.

This is the height of hypocrisy from someone who has been a political opportunist from the start.
Like Obama, Edwards leapfrogged out of the Senate to mask any difficult vote he has to make as a legislator. He's in the company of someone who can speak to what's up and popular because it's all about talk with no proof of action to show for.
This is a guy who said he was a fighter, yet he couldn't fight for Kerry as his vice and played it safe so he could run at another time. He loves himself too much.

can we not just get rid of this narcissist?

This question was posted anonymously and was ambiguous.

Answer : If you refer to Edwards , make him Vice President then we will neither see him nor hear him say another relevant word .

If you mean Obama ........... Why?

Big shock! The one young, handsome man endorses the other younger, handsome man to beat the older, more experienced woman symbolizing our first real chance for a woman president. Welcome to "Sexism 101" everyone!!! Perhaps they'd rather have Hillary be the White House chef "baking their cookies" than serve our country as president. But oh wait...the press doesn't care that she won WV....they're too busy reporting on the endorsement of the guy who lost twice now. Great precendent with our press, huh? Let's let our American press decide who your nominee is by highlighting this story and burying the other? Like giving them this kind of unchecked power won't come back to haunt all of us someday...at some point....when we don't like their NEXT choice FOR us!

edwards endorsement? so what? remember kennedy's & kerry's endorsements? big joke.

'breck' edwards name resonates more with $400 haircuts, his mansion, his wealth than with the travails of working class americans.

Edwards' endorsement was "right-on-time"! Earlier it would have been nice, but Hillary would have won PA and WV anyway. But now that media has highlighted this false assertion that Barack cannot win white votes, as if there are no white people in the 30+ states Barack has already won, is absurd, so for Edward's -- Mr. Blue Collar -- to come out at this time to halt Hillary's momentum and put the spotlight back onto Barack in this way is masterful and will be a great aid going foward as these two together have "chemistry".

Along the way there have been many endorsements (helpers/angels)for Barack, that seem to come out just when they are needed most. A major endorsement was - Ted Kennedy & Caroline Kennedy who helped to introduce Barack to many who really did not know him and stamp him with authenticity and Caroline passed her father's torch.

Endorsements do matter that is why they are so highly sought after. Don't let anyone tell you different! They matter!

Obama / Edwards.
Two one term Senators who could mange getting their kids to school no less manage the country.
Two more Bush like political egos.

The U.S.A. stands for the United States of America!!! United...get it?
Not 48 states. Florida and Michigan are American citizens and voters and have every right to be fully represented. If the DEMS short change these Americans and deprive them of full unconditional representation then the Democrats may as well disband the party and go out of businees because that would not be DEMOCRACY!!!

Jeanie:
It is truly in your best interest to take a sleeping pill or s sedative and get some rest. You are hallucinating from lack of rest and mental confusion. where and how could you clamorize that cold-blooded calculaed stunt that Edwards and Obama pulled off. It was at best 'TACKY SCHOOL-GIRL POLITICS". But it's OK because it's all going to BACKFIRE soon. Hillary will prevail and you will soon be singing her praises. (By the way, do you know who murdered the choir director at Trinity Church in Dec. 2007? Do you think the Obamas and Rev. Wright know?).

Hillary Clinton went a little too far. She is trying to pull something with her delegate number change including Michigan and Florida. The party leaders know what she plans to pull. John Edwards, George McGovern, they are heading her up. She shows her true colors with her willingness to change the rules that she agreed to to suit her now. I am amazed people supporting when her ethics are so low. Does any Hillary supporter think it is crazy to want the votes in Michigan and Florida to just be "counted" now when she knows that Obama was not even on the ballot in Michigan, and did not even campaign in either state? Does she not think that voters also knew this and did not vote? It is a sham she is trying to pull.

Congratulations to the sane ones of the party trying to pull the dems together now. Pandering to the uneducated, the racists, weak of mind, that is her best pathetic hope now. West Virginia voted but it is not a representation of the diversity of the American voter. It means very little.

I felt wonderful at the endorsement of John Edwards for Barack Obama. There is need for closure at this juncture. I agree with John Edwards that the West Virginia primary was being mischaracterized by Clinton. West Virginia is a unique state. Surrounded by mountains, it is comprised of an isolated group of people who generally are very hard working to the point they are poverty. They are under educated, under paid, and are not a mix of the nation. To suggest Barack Obama is elite is not representative of the man. He is someone who came from little and has aspired to make something of himself. He is not elite but attempts to aspire to be more. Hillary Clinton attempts to distract from where she comes from. She is of wealth, rich Republican background, Wellsley and Yale. She gets a throaty sound in the blue collar areas, and suddenly is from places like Scranton, PA. She gets down good in West Virginia. Do you really believe the Senator who suddenly was from New York too really cares beyond Tuesday for those "hard working white people" in West Virginia? She has been unabashed in her pandering to uneducated folk courting fear and stemming the racist divide. It has been the cornerstone of her campaign since Super Tuesday and she has run on shoestrings because she never believed she couldn't be the chosen one of the primary season. She had no further plan beyond Super Tuesday. That's all we need to know about how she would run the country. She has had $150 million dollars over these months and has run it into the ground. She is in debt well over $20 million now. She stays in and plugs her webpage for financial support so supporters will send money not to a winning campaign, but to help repay her, this millionaire. If supporters send her money now, it goes directly back to Hillary Clinton so she does not have fund a losing campaign.

James Moylan:
I do believe that you are speaking for Obama. He has NOT answered these questions AT ALL!! If Rev. Wright doesn't speak for him as he said, what qualifies you to be his spokesman? You have been brained-washed and can not separate fact from fiction. Step up to the plate and learn to play hardball not Tee-ball with this election. The stakes are too high and the issues are too deep...no time for romancing the candidates...it's time to make sure that they are who they say they are and not who you want to believe them to be.

John R. Edwards "endorsement" of Barack Obama is "hilarious!"

One "lightweight" endorsing another "lightweight!"

Two vacuous people, they deserve one another, I remember when Edwards was the V.P. in 2004, I could not believe he was on the ticket. This guy is as "phony" as Obama.

Trial Lawyer, oh, yeah, he's going to "dedicate his life to wiping out poverty", what an incredible hypocrite. Yeah, he wants something out of Obama, all right, and it isn't helping the poor, who, by the way, aren't even mentioned in this entire campaign by any of the candidates. The middle class, yeah, the ones who spend, are having problems with mortgages, sending their kids to schools, gas prices, etc., health care, oh, God help us, as Jesus once said: 'The poor you will always have with you....'

What the hell do you think they do: they also pay taxes, have minimum wage jobs or lower, they suffer everyday of their lives, yet no one advocates for them, they're not important, yet, they still vote, or maybe not, why wouldn't they feel "left out", they're the "underdogs and disenfranchised" of America, God knows no Govt. program wants to subsidize them anymore.

I guess these "hardworking, disaffected Americans and non-Americans" will have to wait until they die before they will be welcomed into God's Kingdom and, believe me, this majority will enter before these other groups. And, as for the "hypocrites", they'll all get their just dues by the only Judge who matters.

God bless the poor, for they are the ones who truly suffer in this country but no one truly cares nor has ever cared, for they bring nothing to the "table."

Oh by the way spammers, did President Jimmy Carter really endorse Obama ?

I just don't understand the double standard here.

Obama always mentions that Clinton voted for the war. Now here is a guy, Edwards, who co-sponsored a Lieberman Bill authorizing the President to use armed forces in Iraq.

Does that not bother the Obamanation ? It really sounds like a double standard to me. Maybe it is the jazz we are on today ?

Well, heck, follow the money...

Ebonyflash - all your questions have been asked and answered. Not my fault if you refuse to listen.
1. Rev. Wright: friend or foe?
A - friend (but of course you agree with everything that every one of your friends say)
2. Wm. Ayers: Personal friend and supporter or not?
A - Both. (see 1)
3. The Rezkos and Auchi: Did he take their money or not?
A - No.
4. Michelle Obama: Is she a US patriot or hater?
A - probably both. Certainly a patriot - probably hates a lot of things (like most human beings i hope she hates poverty, violence, dropped ice-creams, & trolls)
5. Sinclair: Did he have an affair with this man and snort coke with him or not?
A - No affair no coke do not pass go.
6. Gay Choir Director: Does he know who murdered this man and why?
A - No.

There you are questions answered.
But, funny enough, I have a feeling that you are simply going to ask them all again, just like the good little republican you sound like.

I am not going to let America become a nation of uninformed people who stand for nothing and fall for anything. We have got to take a deeper look into the life and background of Obama before we put him the position of power as the President of the USA. He needs to answer the tough questions with truth and clarity.
1. Rev. Wright: friend or foe?

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT OBAMA STOP DUCKING THESE TALKING POINTS AND COME CLEAN ON EACH OR HE CAN FORGET BECOMING COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF.

I guess the only time Obama will get a WINNER to endorse him is when PRESIDENT CLINTON does so.
Because so far, all he's got is LOSERS endorsing him--Kerry, Edwards, Howard Dean, George McGovern, and the soon-to-be-endorsers Michael Dukakis, and Jimmy Carter. How about Walter Mondale! Maybe Obama can give him a call.
Obama can't stand on his own, but that's the best he's come up with so far to lean on...big-name LOSERS.
Birds of a feather......

Mickey Fudge said: 'I have information that Obama had gays sex with Louis and Shaka Farrakan. To cover it up he had to travel back in time and murder Malcolm X.'

SO IT IS TRUE!!!!

now that I have absolute proof (ie Mickey Fudge said it) I'm going straight to the top with this scoop - can anybody show me the way to the FOXnews site?

Obama also has plans to bury a nuclear weapon of destruction under Israel and send the President of Iran the button. It's true, and he hates Sammy Davis Jr., who he considers a Judas!

I have information that Obama had gays sex with Louis and Shaka Farrakan. To cover it up he had to travel back in time and murder Malcolm X.

jews against obama wrote: 'Can you imagine Al Sharpton as Secretary of State or Jesse Jackson as a Supreme Court Justice? This may happen if Barack Hussein Obama becomes president.'

Can you imagine Daffy Duck on the Supreme Court?
Can you imagine The Pope as Secretary of State?
Hey this is a fun game.
Can you imagine Al Sharpton as the Governor of Texas?
Can you imagine that some people will say almost anything when they are ideologically or religiously driven?
Can you imagine that most people are far too sane to give anything that 'jews against obama' say the slightest thought whatsoever?
Can you imagine that most people will reject intolerant BS?
Perhaps not. Bigots usually tend to lack things like intelligence, heart, & imagination.

Someone said West Virginia doesn't represent the country because they voted for Hillary ?? Funny, all you black voters only represent a few southern states & that's only on the Democratic side. Obama can't win any state with a white majority. Republicans won't vote for him either, so how can he be President ? How does President McCain sound ??

Obama got an other loser !!. Edwards couldn't carry his home state when he was Kerry's Vice president pick. He now has Kennedy & Kerry to go with Edwards. What makes Obama happy, he hates white people. Could OJ be next to give his support ?

Ebonyflash said: "WHAT DOES OBAMA KNOW ABOUT THE SLAIN CHOIR DIRECTOR AND MR. SINCLAIR"

Forget the Choir director - I have it on good authority that Obama murdered the whole choir,
then burnt down the church,
tortured the white minister,
violated the parish goat,
stole the only real tapes of HC under sniper fire (and substituted fakes),
and then secretly converted to Islam and joined Osama Bin Laden on a vacation in Canada clubbing baby seal cubs for fun and profit.

(Oh - of course the Edwards endorsement means nothing because, as everybody knows, John Judas Edwards is an elitist snob who can't even speak english proper, beats stray dogs, and secretly worships the devil and George Bush.)

When you read these posts calling Hillary Clinton supporters racist, you know they are supporters of Obama because they share the lack of understanding of the definition of certain words. Racist and Unity.
PLEASE, someone give Obama and his supporters a dictionary! A racist is someone that slurs another race...like Obama did in HIS books, in HIS words and by following Wright for 20 YEARS. Unity is bringing people together, something Obama makes a point of saying he did NOT want to unite with white people "his mother's race" in HIS OWN book and HIS OWN words! NOW that he wants to be President of the "United" States of America, this is why he chants CHANGE! It is he that is trying to change what he said, what he wrote, what his minister said and he followed for 20 years and change what his wife wrote and said! And IT IS WAY TOO LATE FOR THAT! WE ALL KNOW THE TRUTH! He is a David Duke. And no flag pen, or U S Flag or his latest hypocitical stunt, a cross behind him, hides the truth! The audacity of hypocracy! This democrat votes Hillary, then McCain. I would NEVER trust this country in the hands of this man.

Just FYI,

West Virginia does not represent the whole United States and therefore all you dumb Hillary follower, WAKE UP. Look again what kind of person Hillary is. (Big Ugly Liberal Liar).

After scanning the various US and Canadian papers and online blogs for info on the dem campaign over the last 6 months I have arrived at the conclusion that the Washington Post online is the home for the Hillary uneducated, white bigots that I have heard so much about. Cling to your bitterness, guns and your KKK meetings while the rest of the thinking world reads "the audacity of hope". Don't bother maligning me as I will not be back to read it.

Obama not only stands in front of rows of flags, he now wears a flag pen and to top that, he now has a commercial with a cross behind him! When you have to do this muh to prove you are a patriot, you are not! Obama, we have read your racist and Anti-American books. You remember those don't you? They are the ones that you said you were "inspired" by Rev. Wright to write! Just a few years aga! Obama is the epitome of hypocracy! And as a Democrat, he is an embarrassement. But as an American, he is downright scary! He will never protect this country. He has NO allegience to this country. That is basically what he says in his own books that are his words.

Barack Hussein Obama has been endorsed by both Louis Farrakan and Hamas. This is very telling about what his foreign policy will be and he is attracted to his message. I hope the American people wake up before its too late. Feel free to visit jtf.org/e or www.jewsagainstobama.com to find out more.

Every time Obama's name is mentioned, I touch myself. Stop it everybody, it is driving me into MO's!

HILLARY AS AN INDEPENDENT! IF RALPH NADAR AND ROSS PEROT CAN DO IT, HELL, SHE CAN TOO! RUN HILLARY RUN! WINNER TAKE ALL...

Hillary to run for President as an Independent!

Seems Hillary is entertaining the idea of running this fall as an Independent. Considering the shaft she's getting by members of her own party, even though she is proving she can win the decisive states, she may no other choice, but to run as an Independent.

Barack Hussein Obama is indeed an anti semite who is saying what needs to be said in an election period. If people foolishly elect him, you can be sure he will carry out Louis Faarakhans version of foreign policy and destroy this country. Can you imagine Al Sharpton as Secretary of State or Jesse Jackson as a Supreme Court Justice? This may happen if Barack Hussein Obama becomes president.

Boy, this story sure brought out the intelligentsia. You should be proud of yourselves. what a nice picture of America you racist, bigoted, fools paint. America belongs to all of us, and in this election decent Americans everywhere, regardless of their party affiliation, won't allow hate mongers to steal this nomination, or the White House. It may come as a surprise to you, but even you misguided, unfortunate soles will benefit from an Obama Presidency.

You know, Obamatard, we're getting tired of being called racist, bigotted fools. Your Messiah is the one who is a racist. His book spells it out to anyone who cares to read it. His choice of Wright and Trinity for 20 years reinforces it. You are the fool if you want a racist to be president. Or maybe you are a racist yourself. You got one thing right. We will not allow hate mongers to steal this election. Those hatemongers are Obama and his minions. Decent Americans will stop you.

I can't believe someone writes "you angry white women"; I am sickened by the angry MEN (black and white).

Focus on economy and healthcare.

Quote: "It is not so much Obama that has me angry, but ignorant little twits like you who think you are better than everybody else because you are young. Well guess what else you are? Rude, hateful, ignorant, disrespectful, self-centered and completely devoid of manners."

Mercy, such language "angry white woman". You sound just like Senator Clinton. Could you fit the description of her supporters that come from her own words? Older (old), white, hard-working (poor), under educated (dumb). Don't gripe at me. That's her own words, with the meaning thrown in. In other words, she's saying that her base is "white trash". Course, that's what the exit polls also show.

Google 'The Obama File'.

ONE LOSER ENDORSING ANOTHER LOSER. Edwards is trumped by PEOPLE POWER.

The West Virginia resounding defeat of Obama was an expression of PEOPLE POWER that proclaimed Sen. Clinton is the Democratic presidential nominee. The PEOPLE POWER of Sen Clinton's victory trounced the pro-Obama biased media. Superdelegates who are endorsing Obama daily in an end run around the Democratic nomination process to swipe the nomination for Obama should ponder seriously the PEOPLE POWER that buttresses Sen. Clinton. Edwards. Obama and his superdelegates are taking the Democratic Party down the path of a train wreck in November.

Boy, this story sure brought out the intelligentsia. You should be proud of yourselves. what a nice picture of America you racist, bigoted, fools paint. America belongs to all of us, and in this election decent Americans everywhere, regardless of their party affiliation, won't allow hate mongers to steal this nomination, or the White House. It may come as a surprise to you, but even you misguided, unfortunate soles will benefit from an Obama Presidency.

Be advised that I am not a HATER. I do not Hate Obama or any other individual. It seems that any person who exercises his/her right to question Obama is either a RACIST or A HATER with psychological defects. That is not fair to attack those of us who want the TRUTH from the candidates!!!!!!

Obama just needs to come clean and his supporters need to stop being so prone to crying foul when tough questions are raised......Like: WHO KILLED THE GAY CHOIR DIRECTOR AT TRINITY CHURCH IN DEC.2007 and WHY???????????????????

I'm convinced that Obama is an anti-Semite, anti-American and will be a disaster. Vote McCain '08.

to ragindemo's mama: (Another ugly Obama supporter) "15 Women in 1 Family ?! Are you kidding me ? You must be living in that Texas Ranch that they are talking about. We don't need your Vote anyways !!"

Please don't insult me. I don't know about you, but to me "family" means mother, daughter, aunts, cousins, sisters-in-law. Maybe you are such an unpleasant person that you have no extended family or they won't talk to you.

Edwards is doing this for his own selfishness. Hes know Obama is going to be the nominee and he wants to be the VP.

Will you angry white women give it a rest already? Please. Your time is gone. The world is different now. Your daughters know. That is why they vote for Obama. So stop this attempt at retribution. Vote on merits: if you have ears to hear you will know that Obama is on a whole higher level than McBush or McClinton.

Please overcome your hatred and anger. You did good. You broke the ceiling that held you back. Thank you. Now get out of the way if you can't lend a hand.

You arrogant fool! My time is just beginning. The only thing I'll give a rest is my finger next to the name John McCain on my touch screen. Obama is nothing but a career street thug in a tailored suit.

It is not so much Obama that has me angry, but ignorant little twits like you who think you are better than everybody else because you are young. Well guess what else you are? Rude, hateful, ignorant, disrespectful, self-centered and completely devoid of manners.

Where were your parents when you were growing up? They sure didn't teach you anything. Keep insulting people, idiot, you'll have a rude awakening on election day.

the plot thickens....

but! i still don't know who to vote for.

barack obama supports partial birth abortion and did not support a measure that would prevent the murder of babies born after botched abortion procedures. nasty business mr. obama.

hillary is a clinton. which, for the uninitiated, means she is a liar, a sneak, and unprincipled. basically the last person i want representing me to the world.

ol johnny mccain is a cool guy. i like his temper, it makes me laugh. BUT he's a bushie and would ask more of my generation to die for b***s*** reasons and pretend the poor don't exist.

what to do.........

I don't care about this distraction of Edwards. I want to know why it is acceptable for a possible US president to be using a Palestinian PHONE BANK to call voters in the US

You know, all these supposed Hillary supporters who say they will vote for for McCain even if it means sending more Americans to die in Iraq, overturning Wade vs. Roe and more tax incentives for the rich, don't even represent Hillary Clinton; and Hillary Clinton certainly doesn't represent them! Why? Because when Barack Obama receives the nomination for the Democratic Party, Senator Clinton will campaign and work her heart out for him. This is because deep down she knows the Democratic Party is bigger than either her or her husband. She will choose unity over divisive politics and she will choose to end Republican misrule no matter what. So all this talk about abandoning the Democratic Party because Hillary didn't get nominated is bunk - a true Hillary Clinton supporter will line up behind the nominee: just as Senator Clinton will. If not, they were never about supporting Clinton - they were about supporting their own selfish pride.

Noway, you traitor! Democracy is expensive. I pay more than $50K per year in fed and state taxes. I'm happy to pay that money. I would be happier if that money was spent on education, environment and global prosperity instead of killing people.

You who complain about taxes are traitors. America costs money. We need to pay more.

Grace, Grace, Grace...
Did 8 years of listening to Bush/Cheney make you this fearful? I feel sorry for you. And, it's obvious you need to do some research....
"OBAMA CAN'T CAPTURE 60% OF THE WHITE MALE AND FEMALE VOTE. HE LOST IN ALL THE DEMOCRATIC ELECTORAL EXCEPT ILLINIOS."

Huh? You need to do some research. Obama has won 32 contests to Clinton's 16, and he remains ahead of her in popular votes. Obama needs only 25 more delegates for a majority; 133.5 for the nomination.

Don't you believe the obama will become the leader of your country?I think he is a good leader!

Clinton supporters, take the advice of your candidate. Tonight she stressed that voting for McCain over Obama would be a "grave mistake"
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/14/clinton/index.html

In the end ALL true Democrats will vote against a third Bush term. Be smart!

Will you angry white women give it a rest already? Please. Your time is gone. The world is different now. Your daughters know. That is why they vote for Obama. So stop this attempt at retribution. Vote on merits: if you have ears to hear you will know that Obama is on a whole higher level than McBush or McClinton.

Please overcome your hatred and anger. You did good. You broke the ceiling that held you back. Thank you. Now get out of the way if you can't lend a hand.

Obama 08!

What I've learned over my years is people have problems. White people have problems and black people have problems. However the people with the most problems think all people are like them or like someone they know. It is hard for them to separate their problem from that person.

For whatever reason some people do not like Senator Obama - it has nothing to do with Senator Obama but with that indiviadual.

My suggestion to these people is learn how to love yourself first - sometimes people hate other people because of a dis like of themselves.

This post is for svreader, seeker, ebonyfash, jewsagainstobama and helpme!

Obama is a nice guy; he just isn't ready for the Presidency. And Edwards, omigod: the "Other American" on a liberal guilt trip.
And, remember, Democrat President and Democrat Congress = TAX INCREASE FOR YOU!

WHO KILLED THE GAY CHOIR DIRECTOR AND WHY?????

AMERICA NEEDS TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MAYBE, JUST MAYBE YOU GAY RIGHTS ACTIVISTS OUT THERE IN READERS-LAND CAN GET US SOME ANSWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DON"T YOU EVEN CARE!!!!!!!

Obama. "Lack of experience". Another slogan like "too extreme" or "liberal" as if it were a pejorative. The swift boat sloganeers haven't quit, they just tailor their one or two word zingers and try to imprint them into peoples minds as if any of made sense to begin with.

George Bush has lots of experience, Dick Cheney a whole lot more, Rummydummy and Bombowitz too.

All of that experience.

JFK didn't have a lot of "experience". But he stared down the Soviet Union in Cuba and won. He wanted to extricate American advisors from Vietnam that had been put there by Ike.

That's probably the REAL reason he was killed.

Bush obviously fell off of a bar stool too many times without his crash helmet before he gave it up.

Cheney almost blew the face off of a fellow hunter. He was so drunk he thought the guy was a quail.

McCain is an honorable man but he just won't be able to shake the Bush association, and he'll probably be challenged on the right by an independent, a Libertarian...some kind of morphed Ralph Nader or the other...we can all hope.

I'm sticking with Obama no matter what the trailer park crowd thinks. Even though Congress has a majority of Democrats they still aren't there in in great enough numbers to get anything done.

We've already seen what conservatives on the Supreme Court tied to a conservative executive and the fly strip bound Republican congressional toadys can do for the country.

You Dems who think we can do better with more of these folks pause and consider:

If you think were going down the wrong path now...where will it end if we don't change direction??

The "Other" American on a liberal guilt trip.

Tony Rezko is a Syrian Arab supporter of Islamic terrorism. Rezko organized Arabs and Muslims in Chicago to raise funds for Muslim terrorist causes. Rezko also raised at least $250,000 for Barack Hussein Obama's earlier campaigns. And Rezko sold Obama his house for $300,000 below the market price and below the asking price. This is a clever way to bribe a politician. You sell him a home for $300,000 less than market value.

Such hate-filled vitriol spewing forth! Regardless of who we prefer as president, this kind of hysterical rhetoric is the greatest threat that America now faces. We can recover from any disaster--even 8 years of Dubya & Company--but only if we are united in our resolve to recover. If we cannot disagree without cursing and vilifying each other, then perhaps there really is no hope for our nation.

Wow, tweedledum has endorsed tweedledee. Now that's an odd couple if ever there was one.

Hopefully, all those Edwards delegates out there will put Obama over the top and we can be done with the Clinton's until 2012. Ya'll are getting just what you deserve.

Many of the posts extoll Hillary Clintons "experience". What exactly are they referring to. She has served in the Senate, the same as Obama. Let me offer the following analogy....if you needed heart surgery would you have the heart surgewons wife operate on you? Yes, she worked in his office, knows all his patients, sends his bills, etc
but does this consititute "real" experience? I think people need to think about exactly what consititutes this much balleyhooed experience of Ms Clinton. The one "mission" she says she served to Bosnia turns out to be a fantasy.
This doesnt mean sheis not a smart woman and a tough woman, but she is not necesssarily any more experienced than her opponenet. Being married to a former governor and former president does not make
a candidate qualified for office. (How about Laura Bush)

20% OF DEMOCRATS ARE VOTING FOR MCCAIN BECAUSE WE THINK OBAMA IS SCAREY.

If people feel comfortable allowing a more palatable Jesse Jackson to run and ruin America, than by all means feel free to vote for him. If you're half normal than you have an obligation to vote for McCain. BTW, a Jew for Obama is like a Christian against Christ.

AL GORE, TED KENNEDY, JIMMY CARTER, GEORGE MCGOVERN, JOHN KERRY, JOHN EDWARDS ALL ENDORSE OBAMA.

DO WE SEE A PATTERN EMERGING?

HELLO MCCAIN 2008 FOR PRESIDENT.

THAT'S WHAT YOU GET DEMOCRATS FOR LETTING KIDS DECIDE YOUR NOMINEE. YOU LET KIDS DECIDE YOUR CEREAL, YOUR CAR AND NOW YOUR CANDIDATE.

OBAMA CAN'T CAPTURE 60% OF THE WHITE MALE AND FEMALE VOTE. HE LOST IN ALL THE DEMOCRATIC ELECTORAL EXCEPT ILLINIOS.

AMERICANS ARE AFRAID OF OBAMA. HIS SUPPORTERS DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHO REZKO AND AUCHI IS.

IS REV. WRIGHT SLEEPING WITH THE FISHES?

If I can bring the perspective of a non-US citizen to this discussion ...

As most Americans who have been paying attention will know, the image of the US overseas has been pretty unappealing since Vietnam. For a time post 9/11 many people felt a degree of sympathy and even goodwill towards the US, but George Bush squandered all of that, and the status quo ante returned. Amongst educated people, the argument was between those who thought America was full of evil, greedy, narrowminded sociopaths or ignorant, xenophobic morons. When George Bush wangled his way back into power in 2004, the debate pretty much came to a halt. Much of the rest of the educated world was too gobsmacked to find the words. People largely shook their heads in disgust or concluded that US governmance could be described as the rule of venal sociopaths through the manipulation of xenophobic morons.

Since that time, people like Al Gore and now especially, Barack Obama have begun to undermine this view. West Virginia certainly gave aid and comfort to those holding on to the traditional view, and the ignorant bigoted 'swiftboat'-style campaigns against Obama remind us of all the things non-Americans think repulsive about the US, while every victory of Obama tells of the possibility of an America who could fly with the angels and play a part in a saner and more worthy world -- a world in which Americans everywhere could hold their heads up and declare that that most impressive preamble to the constitution amounted to more than mere words on a dusty old document.

This election is for you, for Americans, but please bear in mind that others will judge you by how this plays out. In the minds of many a victory for Obama would draw a definitive line under the Bush years and signal that America planned to begin being part of the solution rather than part of the problem.

Unlike Obama who attended prep schools in Hawaii, paid for by his typical white grandparents ( no thanks to his Muslim father who abandoned him when he was small), Hillary earned her spot in every college she attended.

Obama does have his father to thank for his acceptance into Harvard, because, like George Bush, Obama used his father's legacy to gain entance into the most elitist school he could. True.

Posted by: Anne B | May 14, 2008 9:47 PM
-----------------------------
So which one is it? His no-good Muslim father abandoned him, or was his ticket into Harvard? By the way, Obama attended Harvard Law School. Obama's dad attended the graduate school at Harvard. You don't benefit from legacy preference at the law school if your parent attended the graduate school. It's really not at all like GW Bush, who benefited from legacy preference at Yale College, since his father and other family members also attended Yale as undergraduates.

AMERICA DESERVES THE TRUTH!!! I AM NOT SURE IF OBAMA HAS BEEN TRUTHFUL>>>>ARE YOU???
HE WAS BLACK GOING INTO SC PHILLY and NC. WHAT COLOR WILL HE BE WHEN HE GOES OUT WEST???
TELL US WHO KILLED THE TRINITY CHURCH CHOIR DIRECTOR AND WHY???????????????
BO KNOWS...BO KNOWS...BO KNOWS...BO KNOWS

Hey JewsAgainstObama,

You really should check this out if you have any doubt Obama is fronting about his stance on Israel. Some interesting pics too.

The Change That You Deserve

From the Chicago Tribune:

The slogan unveiled this week by House Republicans - "Change you deserve" - is already a trademark used by Wyeth Pharmaceuticals to market its antidepressant Effexor XR.

Black Screen.

Fade into:

Scene of a thin grey haired man standing in a green field. Behind him we can see the sun is rising.

"I got the change I deserved with GOP"

Cut to a small child, in a sun dress, who looks up at him and smiles.

"I was tired, listless. I had lost interest in my usual activities--creating false attacks, acting as if I had been unfairly attacked about issues created out of whole cloth, drawing specious historical parallels, fawning over ideologically bankrupt manufactured father figures. Sure, I sent emails claiming that Obama was a Muslim, but somehow...it had lost the spark, the enjoyment of everyday life."

Cut to a child who rides by on a bicycle, and throws a newspaper on the front porch.

"That's when I found GOP."

Cut to man rowing in a scull across a still river. He turns to the camera, smiles.

"In clinical studies, GOP has been found to increase aggressiveness in the absence of actual provocation in 8 out of 10 users. In most users, the desire to gleefully attack returns in 1 week. Full enthusiasm for invented ideas in two. "

Cut to image of porch swing.

"With GOP, my attention to minor distractions fully returned, until I was again building them into major accusations of flawed character. Once again, my intense focus on pins, buttons, sentences fragments and remote relationships as absolute indications of personal virtue and ability was at its peak. For an entire weekend, I could one again choose the right moment to accuse a candidate of treason without cause--when I was ready, when the time felt right".

Cut to a series of blurred images: long, stringy haired teens in torn jeans and ironic 80's t-shirts lounging by the Washington Monument; picture of John Kerry in a Swift Boat during Vietnam;
Eiffel Tower. Plate of Arugula. During these images, rapid voiceover in female voice:

"GOP may cause monosyllabism, inability to consider two differing concepts at the same time, memory loss or inaccurate recall of recently and repeatedly presented intelligence information, focus on size of automobiles or koro, sequential nicknaming, hooting."

Cut back to man standing in field. American flag waving in the distance behind him, below a risen sun. A woman walks up beside him, puts her arm around him, and smiles.

Man:

"So get the change that you deserve. Talk to your Doctor about GOP. Soon, you'll be walking by the homeless on the street again and saying "Let them get a job!"

Or better yet--let them get GOP."

Woman smiles.

Fade.

Obama has not been vetted fully by the MSM. Issues relating to Ayers and Rezko need to be addressed before the general election, better now, than later. There is plenty out there on the web already. What do we really know about the man other than what he tells us?

What out for the fishes... also good luck finding the Brookland bridge... didnt know there bridges in Brookland, only a University or two... perhaps you meant Brooklyn.. in which case: you, sir, are an idiot.

There IS a Brookland Bridge, after a fashion (actually more than one). The one that first comes to mind is on Michigan Ave, just past Catholic U.; it goes over Metro tracks. There's another one, about four blocks south, that also goes over train tracks.

Unless a train's coming you should survive the fall.

Nobama '08.
It's just not going to happen.
There's not enough lefty liberals in this country to make it happen.
So sorry.

Hum... let's see! Yep, I'll pick the man. My constituents aren't backing him and he doesn't have universal healthcare. My wife even likes Hillary's plan better but, yep, I'll pick the man.

Folks, I hate to break it to you, but its already tomorrow:

Posted by: roger wallace | May 14, 2008 10:15 PM

Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. is Barack Hussein Obama's National Campaign Chairman. Jesse Junior has what he refers to as a "sacred covenant" with Louis Farrakhan. Jesse Junior attends all of Farrakhan's rallies. Farrakhan has said that all whites are "devils" who are destined to exterminated by Allah. Farrakhan also said: "I like when the Jews call Farrakhan Hitler. Hitler was a great man, Hitler was a very great man." BTW, Obama himself also attended Farrakhan's Million Man March. And Farrakhan has publicly endorsed Obama's candidacy.

THERE WAS A MURDER IN CHICAGO IN DEC. 2007!!!! THE CHOIR DIRECTOR OF TRINITY CHURCH ( a gay AA man)!!!! THE OBAMAS HAD A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP TO THE VICTIM AND ANOTHER GAY MAN NAMED SINCLAIR!!!!

Thanks for your great post explaining the realpolitik behind the timing and impact of Edward's endorsement

How about Edwards for Attorney General? About time we had an AG who represented the country and the people! (First thing he'll have to do is fumigate the building to get the stink of torture out if it!)

If you really want to know how biased the media is (CNN, Washington Post, etc.) - just look over the comments on this site, USA Today's, etc. and you'll see they're 75 percent AGAINST Obama. The press is trying so hard to manipulate this process!! Don't let them.

I think you're right. Edwards seems like a natural choice for VP.

If Barack Obama becomes the nominee, there is nothing else for me to do but jump off the Brookland Bridge!

IMO, Hillary is the most prepared candidate. She has an unbelievable track record for everyone to see. She has proved that she is serious about the issues and that working for Americans has been her life from a very young age... To me, a couple of good looking men, who speak well, and pose for a picture does not cut it. Any smart voter should be able to see through all this. Of course, there are a few romantics that could get mezmerized by the OB "change" song. I like the song too. I just need substance, not some "Picasso" version of change.

Perhaps you can explain how evil Obama received an Academic Scholarship... last I heard, legacy applicants DO NOT RECEIVE ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS.

hey roger wallace?

i think your mommy is calling. and she sounds really mad. did you miss your bible study again? you know, god will punish you for that. he might even make you burn in hell for eternity.

can we not just get rid of this narcissist?

Why did Chris Matthews say WHTIES in West Va are uneducated, poor, 50-560 years in age and low income. I'm from West Va. I got a AS degree. That's not true , ya'll

roger wallace, I will hunt you down and send you to your maker for making that awful post. Peace to the rest of you!

I don't think all of you are racist, only some... you're entitled to you opinion and vote, no matter how retarded it may be.

Why would I dare call your vote for McCain retarded? Well... lets see, McCain is against everything Clinton is for, hmm so you vote against the guy with 90% of the same platform as HRC, from the same party as HRC.

This is like, if you wanted to purchase an Altima, but the only car on the lot is a 350Z, which they offer to give you for the same price, but because they sold the last Altima you buy a Hummer...

All I have to say is if you all vote for McCain, when we have our recession in 2010, I dont want to hear or see the same Anti-Bush rhetoric from any of you, you weak mouthed excuses for voting for her are not wanted. Because trust, if McCain wins, we will complete its nosedive into the sh**ter

__________

The vast majority of Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama, and between a third and a half, myself included, will vote for McCain if Obama's the nominee.

Its not out of spite.

Its very important that Obama supporters understand this.

We're against Obama because we feel that he doesn't have enough experience to be President. He only spent 1.5 years in the Senate before ruinning for President and doesn't have any management or military experience. To us, him deciding that he was qualified and ready to be President is prima facie evidence of both extreme arrogance and very poor judgment and we're concerned that he doesn't have the character, backbone, or the ability to think on his feet or under pressure to be commander in chief.

No matter how clearly we put it, Obama supporters accuse us of being racist.

Its impossible to reason with them, and they are extremely vicious in the personal attacks they make on people who bring up concerns about Obama.

We strongly believe that if we nominate him, we'll lose, and we're worried that if he were to win, his comments would be perceived as weakness by our country's enemies and lead to attacks by them to test our resolve.

We Clinton supporters are hard core Democrats, but if Obama's the nominee, We'll vote for McCain, because the safety of our country and our families are the most important things to us.

OBAMA AND REV. WRIGHT NEED TO TELL US WHAT THEY KNOW.

If Barack H. Obama becomes the democratic nominee I WILL go to the polls in November to vote and I WILL give my local Democratic public servants a vote and I WILL give my precious vote for the presidency to John McCain......I would rather have four years of McSame than 4 years of Barack H. Obama with only 14 months experience in the Senate and trying to get some change done before he only serves 2 years working for this change and is back on the campaign trail fighting for the presidency for 2012.....I hope Hillary fights for the Presidency all the way to Denver and wins........REMEMBER he got the majority of his delegates BEFORE his statement in CA, his wife's remarks of being proud for the first time in her adult life of this country and the Rev. Wright remarks..... I am a Hillary R. Clinton supporter and I am one of those typical middle class, blue collar, white woman from PA. As Obama was caught speaking of white people in CA., I do not cling to my religion nor do I own a gun, he says we are all afraid of the Black man, and his supporters wonder why he is not getting the white, middle class, blue collar vote. You have to wonder what else he says when the microphone is not on.........

JewsAgainst..., you are confusing Sr. and Jr. It was Sr. that made the hiney statement.

Obama is wearing the flag pin now? LOL, what a phony he is.
So, let's see Mr. Phony go up against Mr. War-Hero. Let's see how that goes, with or without Edwards (another phony) at his side.
What did Obama do, take a poll about the flag pin? What a joke he is.

Go HILL, JUST Go, Barack's camp pulled the rug right from under your win in West Va. That's why I like the MAN.

Poor, uneducated, low-income , whites in West Va , according to Chris Matthews do not care for Barack. It was obvious

If you really want to know how biased the media is (CNN, Washington Post, etc.) - just look over the comments on this site, USA Today's, etc. and you'll see they're 75 percent AGAINST Obama.

There are Jews supporting Barack Hussein Obama? These are the same assimilated, self-hating Jews who supported Yasser Arafat and who want little Israel to commit national suicide. True self-respecting Jews will do everything possible to prevent the election of Obama, whose National Campaign Chairman is Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., a notorious anti-Semite.

Yawn.

Yep, finished, vs. the state of utopia we're experiencing at the moment... right.. and his policies differ so much from Clinton's wow... yep big policy differences..

Barack Hussein Obama favors giving drivers licenses to illegal aliens. If he is elected president, G-d forbid, this country is finished.

Barack Obama has a record devoid of anything significant. I can't think of ONE darn thing he's ever accomplished that's worthwhile. He's also surrouneded by white haters, America haters and vicious anti-Semites. He's a part of the Klan with a Tan.

Barack Hussein Obama favors giving drivers licenses to illegal aliens. If he is elected president, G-d forbid, this country is finished.

Numerous influential Jews are the center of Barack Obama's campaign. The lies about him being anti-Semitic are unadulterated garbage and don't belong in the public discourse. From an 4/24/08 article in the Wall St. Journal by Jonathan Kaufman,

"Many Chicago law firms courted Mr. Obama. He joined a boutique firm specializing in housing and civil rights. Judson Miner, who had been a close ally of Mayor Washington, headed the firm. Ms. Moseley Braun had worked there before her Senate run.

Mr. Miner is Jewish, like many of the whites in Mr. Obama's network of mentors and donors: Newton Minow, head of the Federal Communications Commission under President Kennedy and a prominent Chicago lawyer; Abner Mikva, a former Chicago congressman and a federal judge; political fund-raisers Betty Lu Saltzman, daughter of wealthy developer Philip Klutznik, and Penny Pritzker, heir to the Hyatt Hotel fortune; and, most importantly, political strategist David Axelrod, who now runs Mr. Obama's presidential campaign.

"I used to tease Barack that he had Jewish blood," says Mr. Miner. The connections to Judaism run even closer to home: Michelle Obama's second cousin converted to Judaism, was ordained a rabbi, and runs a Chicago congregation made up largely of black converts to Judaism."

Well, as a white working class guy, I am not so sure that Edwards is a working class hero. Please... he is a lawyer. It appears that the democratic party has made a choice without hearing every last voter. Really, the rules shoud be that superdeligats can not support anyone until every vote is counted. It appears that the delagates like Edwards have hijacked the voters. First, they won't let the voters votes count in Michigan and Florida. Didn't we have problems in 2000 and 2004 with votes not being counted correctly-first in Florida than Ohio? As a past devoted democratic and as painful as it is to say, I plan to vote either for an Independent candidate or McCain in the fall. I can't support a candidate that is going to be a puppet of the super liberal beorgois class. I think America is in trouble. The signs are all pointing toward a troubled country. First a incompetent president(i.e. Bush) now a beorgois new money class taking control. Very sad indeed. These people have no concern for the average american. I have decided if it wasn't for my boyfriend I would move to Canada to get out of this place.

Edwards said it: "There is one MAN he will vote for..."

There was only one man running, so he had to choose him, right?

Now we know.

Anne B, you are like sour tasting candy! Yuk.

Don't believe everything you read. Not one candidate had to struggle a whole lot. Yea, Hillary probably had to push down some doors because she is a woman but, don't think Barack got a free ride, remember he is still a black man in America. You all have to stop believing because he is black he had it easy. To believe that is to be naive. He is also an intellectual which I've read is frowned upon by uneducated whites so, that's two strikes against him.

John Edwads is "playing the game". He layed back and waited to see who might be the presumptive nominee and jumped on thay person's bandwagon. His pose in the picture with Obama is his preamble to being his VP if Obama finishes w/o more scandal(s) which I think are inevitably coming to the fore between now and Nov. Anyway,.......WHAT DOES OBAMA KNOW ABOUT THE SLAIN CHOIR DIRECTOR AND MR. SINCLAIR (His mysterious gay ex-lover)????????? WHERE IS THE MEDIA ON THIS ISSUE...I KNOW RUNNING SCARED AS USUAL.

Iowa???

Duh - Illinois. Sorry.

Stuff it, Blowdry. Your parents were the scab labor that stole unionized textile worker jobs from my parents in New England, yet you bewailed these scabs being displaced by foreign sweatshops with no apparent sense of irony. Head as empty as Obama's. Girly men.

Who cares if he voted or not. He was against the war in the first place and said as much. Then someone here said but he voted to fund it, well, I guess you want the soldiers over there to go without the proper protection. He had to vote yes, because it's not the soldiers faults that they are over there. Let's use a little common sense here.

Go Barack and John! I would love to see the two on a ballot. From the looks of the comments above, America still has not set forth and conquered the dreams of America.

Hillary needs to learn a lesson or two on how to run a methodical, financially viable and in the end a politically sound campaign. This is what happens when you are prepared to do anything and say anything to win.
The laudable endorsement apart, the timing of it says it all. Hillary has been outsmarted again. So all Hillary supporters, who are not prejudiced against an African American candidate, this endorsement should serve as an appeal to not being sore losers; but start preparing to win the presidency with Sen. Obama...

I have to give Edwards credit for being a good salesman because he was able to convince a group of people that he had substance.

Even if it mattered, the nineteen delegates that he spent over thirty million dollars to win would have had a minimal impact on the race assuming that they even followed Edwards' endorsement. As Fred Barnes put it: Edwards' endorsement of Obama was a "profile in caution."

This guy craves the presidency and will continue to seek it even though his last two campaigns have both fizzled after a strong Iowa showing. Maybe he should run for office in Iowa.

I guess the Edwards' endorsement helps Obama change the subject from his poor showing in West Virginia but it accomplishes little else because Edwards has little to bring with him.

Hiean - Obama did not vote against the war. He couldn't, since he wasn't a senator at the time. What he did do was give a politically courageous speech against the war - courageous because even in Iowa, it was just a year after 9/11, the nation was securely in Bush's pocket and for any politician to oppose him was a risk.

Obama will win this nomination on the truth. He can and must.

This evil, twisted, arrogant, biased post brought to you by a mean-spirited Obama supporter.

Shove it, Blowdry. Your parents were the scab labor that stole unionized textile worker jobs from my parents in New England, yet you bewailed these scabs being displaced by foreign sweatshops with no apparent sense of irony. Head as empty as Obama's. Girly men.

NOBAMA 2008

Unlike Obama who attended prep schools in Hawaii, paid for by his typical white grandparents ( no thanks to his Muslim father who abandoned him when he was small), Hillary earned her spot in every college she attended.

Obama does have his father to thank for his acceptance into Harvard, because, like George Bush, Obama used his father's legacy to gain entance into the most elitist school he could. True.

Come on children, what have you been doing all this time but whining about the situation you are in, in this country. When you all elected Bush in 2000 and 2004 what were you thinking? The dude was an idiot in 2000 and what made you think he got smarter in 2004. Now, we are in a war that no one can completely get us out of, debt up to our noses, and an economy that is shot to hell. All because of 911, and the fear that lives in so many peoples hearts. The Rev. Wright was right about one thing, you can't do wrong and not expect it to come back to you. Learn your history and you will see that hatred breeds hatred. To not vote for someone because of their name or because a newspaper, which you know is republican, tells you some spin is laughable. Remember doing slavery white people believed black people had tales or couldn't swim. When are you all going to stop finding reasons to hate and get you life together. An all black church doesn't make it a racist church because if that was the case I could say that about alot of white churches in this country and if you haven't been to his church you really can't speak on that subject. The million man march had nothing to do with race, as much as it had to do with black getting together to learn from and how to be better fathers and bothers to each other. This is from someone who hasn't read any thing on his own someone spoon fed by the media. The media loves people like you to scared or lazy to find out the facts yourself. The hard truth is if you don't vote for Obama then you will have more of the same and maybe worse. How many of you want to be mad to go to war? How many of you want to pay $8.00 a gallon for milk or have to park your car because gas is $6.00 a gallon. So, be bull headed and stand your ground because the one thing I know about the minorities in this country. They will be alright.

"When it came to Obama and his vote against giving Bush authority to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9-11, he did not go with the consensus to give the authority to Bush like Clinton and McCain has."

Because he couldn't. His vote? He had no vote, he wasn't in the Senate then!

Sheesh.

Later, when he WAS in the Senate and a vote came up on calling Iran's Revolutionary Guards a terrorist organization, what was his vote?

None. He abstained from voting. He didn't vote against it. Or for it. Mr. Present strikes again.

I think it's great that John Edwards has endorsed, but frankly, I'd have preferred that he had done so before the Indiana primary and campaigned tghere for Obama, or at the worst, just after, when his endorsement might have tipped the balance even more and finally induced Hillary to throw in the towel.

Great news. We are beginning to demobilize the circular firing squad. From now on the guns will be pointing outside the tent. Senator McCain, watch out for incoming. We are going to win in November!

I happen to think that Barack Obama is a nice guy who has his heart in the right place. This is pure belief, I admit.

What is not pure belief, is the brilliance with which his campaign has been conducted. He may be for change, but he understands very well indeed how things work right now.

His recent management of the news; from the D.C. 'walkabout' to the Edwards endorsement, was designed to pre-empt any possibility of 'come-back-kid' talk to re-emerge follwing W.V., and to aleviate whatever fears remain within the Democrat establishment, that he may not be able to win against McCain.

They are all pols, they know how things work, they sat back, watched, and admired.

Barack Obama is for change. He is an intellectual. But he is not starry eyed. He knows that to enact change in a society as complex as America, the ability to manipulate the news is 90%. Because if you're not better at this than the other side, you lose!

So far, so good!

Hugely important endorsement. Thank you John Edwards. Now, if only Gore would speak up on Obama's behalf.

Barack Hussein Obama is anti-Israel. Obama is surrounded by anti-Semites like Jeremiah Wright, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and his main fundraiser for many years, Tony Rezko - a Syrian Arab supporter of Islamic terrorism who is currently under federal indictment in Chicago.

Good show John but why did you wait so long? I hope you work real hard for the Dem, party. Thanks

Tweedle Dum, Tweedle Dee. Two lefties embrace.

jake FOUKER-DOODLE d

Fantastic.

Uncanny timing. The boys club and all their sexism is alive and well in the political world.

They make a great team!

Kudos to Edwards. When he might have jumped in sooner with an endorsement, he didn't. He waited and let the race play out. He didn't try to tell folks what they should think earlier, he let the two candidates who must eiher inspire and lead or not make their respective cases. He didn't muck up the delegate counting or presume to speak for others. He gave Hillary room to build/rebuild her case and he let Obama address the issues he needed to. Now it's time to unify, and he's moving that along, ala George McGovern and many others. Disappointing to Hillary? Sure. If there has been any deal, it's for a pittance now compared to what an earlier endorsement might have brought. To Hillary supporters who might be irked that there was a deal, don't be. Your candiate has surely been offering all kinds of stuff. That's politics. And Kudos to Hillary for making it clear that she will work hard for the evenually nominee -- just like Obama would if he came up short.

o: Hispana

What makes you such an expert on campaign tactics by Obama or anyone else. All of the politicians are in it to win and HR Clintons hands are not clean in this regard. You need to resign yourself to the facts of life of politics in this country. Futher, you said:
"You have committed a FATAL political sin of ignoring and underestimating a significant population who will not vote for you no matter what you do from now until November." If that is so, if nothing he does can convince you to vote for him because of what I see as your blind hatred, then why shouldn't he ignore you? If I am selling a car and nothing I can do will make you buy one from me, I will ignore you for someone who will listen to my message, evaluate the car and make a fair decision. You on the other hand, sound like you just want someone to kiss your hand just because you belong to some group. People like you just amuse me.
--------------------------------------
It is called simply freedom of expression and I am quite entitled to my opinion. And further, I do not have blind hatred, but I am an observer of the facts and see when someone is a charlatan.

Tweedle Dum, Tweedle Dee. Two lefties embrace each other.

THIS WOMAN IS PLAIN IGNORANT. IT'S TIME TO GO!

B Y E ! ! !

Folks, I live in Washington DC, and I can feel the energy flowing towards Obama. I wanted to report that to everyone here. Expect 8-16 delegates to commit tomorrow, including at least one defection. All to OBAMA!

My heart soars like an Eagle!!

Sen Edwards and his family are courageous people. They care passionately about people and believe in justice, equality, and universal health care for all Americans.

I hope Sen Obama will pick Sen. Edwards to be his Attorney General or as a running mate, if that is acceptable to Sen. Edwards.

For all of the Democrats that are not going to vote for Obama in November because your candidate did not win the nomination, you are supporting another 4 years of Bush agendas that this country cannot afford to have. When it came to Obama and his vote against giving Bush authority to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9-11, he did not go with the consensus to give the authority to Bush like Clinton and McCain has. That's why I support him for having the intelligence and courage to not be a follower of taking action based on misinformation and become a leader by refusing it. Based on giving Bush the authority to invade Iraq, how much money and lives this country waste when they could have been put to better use?

Who cares about his endorsement now? Obama already had the nomination sewn up...seen Hillary getting any superdelegates lately?

Edwards never misses a chance to miss a chance.

The only monkey is the Chimp in Chief.

"Contrary to Obama belief he does not get Edwards delegates. They are free to vote for who they want."

Yes, that is technically correct but politically naive. Edwards' delegates will all go to Obama. And Obama is getting the superdelegates now.

Hillary is toast. It is mathematically impossible for her to win now. Even if she gets the party to break the rules and allow the illegal primaries in FL and MI.

Wow! The endorsement of a three time loser who couldn't even defeat W in 2004. Good luck to you Obama-monkey.

'I sure as heck won't vote for minority with a ax to grind.'

Ah, racism. Classic stuff.

@sboyd18

Liked your post a lot. It sums up the childish stupidity of 'Hillary or no one' Democrats (i should write 'Democrats') very nicely.

I wish that a Hillary supporter would explain something to me.

Hillary voted for the Iraq war authorization. In fairness, she eventually said it was a mistake. Okay.

But there are three other votes of hers that trouble me very much:

1. The Patriot Act, which deprived Americans of their hard-won, time-honored civil liberties.

2. The bankruptcy bill, which has forced huge numbers of working-class and middle-class Americans into PERMANENT poverty - surely the greatest gift that the credit industry ever bought for itself through campaign donations.

3. The Iran "Terrorist" vote, which, years after Bush and Cheney had proved that they'd happily abuse war-making powers, gave them a license to extend the "war on terror" to Iran.

On each of these CRUCIAL votes, Senator Clinton voted with the Republicans and against her fellow Democrats - much to the benefit of President Bush.

I don't think she's stupid. So why, why, WHY did she cast those votes?

The more you learn about her, the more she seems like her good friend Joe Lieberman - a "Democrat" that Bush and Cheney could always count on in the pinch. So why should Democrats vote for her?

You can always tell where a post is coming from when they refer to Barack Hussein Obama. If gas is $4.00 a gallon, If the Iraq war is still going bad, if we are in a recession, If President Bush's approval rating is at 30%,let's look at the rising National debt, the shrinking of the dollar, Who really cares if McCain is too old, lost his bearings,whether he voted for Bush or not, whether he can't tell sunni from Shia, Whether or not Reverend Wright or Ayers will hurt Obama, or that Hamas wants Obama to win, or if Obama wears a lapel pin (Neither Clinton nor McCain wear one) or whether he misspoke of 57 states,whether we care if Clinton came under fire in Bosnia. People are worried about the real issues: Gas Prices, The War, The economy. The people will want CHANGE!!!!

Thank you, John Edwards! You proved that you are principled. Your endorsement could not have been timed better, and America will be better served because of your stand.

We here at our synagogue are ecstatic! We love Barack, he loves us, and he cares deeply about Israel.

What did West Virginia have, 5 delegates?

Big freakin' deal.

Obama is way ahead of Hillary and she cannot win now.

Hillary is a DLC DINO. She is a closet Repuke and so are her supporters.

Hillary is damaging the party with her Rovian smear campaign. She won't win, but she is a sore loser.

Contrary to Obama belief he does not get Edwards delegates. They are free to vote for who they want.

"This endorsement is supposed to mean something??"

What it means is that the Clintons are a spent force in Washington D.C. What it means is that it is now completely free from any downside to endorse Hillary's opponent.

Bill and Hillary are done.

why would I give two hoots what edwards thinks? he's a loser!!! you dems need to get your crap togtether if you expect to have any chance. I will not vote for a clinton (never) and I sure as heck won't vote for minority with a ax to grind (as in wood ax, not question ax).

ragindemo, you say "These "boys" are going to be very surprised when the women don't get on board in the fall. I know that the 15 women in my family are definitely NOT."

15 Women in 1 Family ?! Are you kidding me ? You must be living in that Texas Ranch that they are talking about. We don't need your Vote anyways !!

"When Obama had a chance to pull the plug on war funding, he chose not to"

The only way this makes *any* sense is if you weren't planning to vote for Hillary either. In which case, why should I care if you're planning to vote for McCain?

Many Democrats will vote for Senator John McCain this November. Barack Hussein Obama has been a member of an anti-white and anti-Semitic church for 20 years. In 1995, Obama attended Louis Farrakhan's racist "Million Man March". If a white candidate had been a member of a KKK church for 20 years, and had attended KKK rallies, would that white candidate be nominated for president of the United States by one of the two major parties?

This endorsement is supposed to mean something??
If he was worth anything at all, he would have endorsed Obama BEFORE North Carolina.
Truth is, Edwards is a loser. No one voted for him while he was in the primary, and his own state didn't vote for him in 2004.
No one listens to him, and BO will find out this won't help him with white working class voters, or anyone else!
Edwards is a L-O-S-E-R!!

James Webb for Veep. Edwards for A.G. RFK Jr. for EPA, Kerry for Defense, Chomsky for State, Udall for Interior, Hillary for ambassador to Uganda, Bill for ambassador to Mongolia, Krugman for Treasury and Josh Marshall for Chief of Staff, Oval Office.

@JakeD

I am puzzled by your post. You claim that Edwards is 'insignificant' because of the math which says he is not really going to be much of a help to Obama either now or in November. You are not wrong, strictly speaking, about the math but how obtuse can you be to say that Edwards is 'insignificant'? His endorsement just guaranteed that Hillary Clinton's grumbling about Obama not being able to win blue-collar white voters (WV etc) is pushed to page 2 while taking its place on page one will be a big picture of Obama smiling and shaking hands with a white guy. Edwards just made everyone forget that Obama lost Tuesday's primary by 40 points. His timing is impeccable - his endorsement is therefore anything but 'insignificant'. But, of course, the big question on everyone's lips is about the MUCH more significant 'JakeD' and which presidential candidate he will endorse. Well superstar? Are you going to keep us waiting much longer?

This is a great boost for Obama. Edwards had delegates and they will go to Obama.

Hillary is through. If she was a real Democrat, she would bow out gracefully and endorse Obama without reservations.

But Hillary only cares about Hillary, and she doesn't give a rat's butt about the Democratic party.

Alemzena

Yes these young voters were also shocked when they had doors slammed in their face, look at the records, young people rally, but they do not come out to vote in November.

As far as the educated, not all educated people are supporting Hillary. But even so by your standards who cares, uneducated people need not be given the right for education? Have you looked at Hillary's proposal for spending on education?

Oh and give it a week or so, Obamas will be the same. Seems to work that way, he follows in her footsteps with her ideas.Read Articles and look at dates on the articles and interviews.

When is Obama making it to the 57th state he spoke of in a speech by the way? Talk about educated. He is given a free pass on that too just like everything else. NO one will ask him tough questions of being afraid of being called racist. Last time we thought someone was so wonderful and be great for our country was in 2000. Look where we landed!

This endorsement is supposed to mean something??

Edwards is a L-O-S-E-R!!

This election is so important. It is on the American people to vote for the candidate that they feel best reflects their values and their vision for a bright future. And the fact of it is, we can never be sure who will do what in a given circumstance. The least important consideration in the whole question, though, is the race of the candidate, or the fact that his name rhymes with membrane.

Daniel Lyon, I'm not the author the middle-name post - my post was ABOVE that one. The post you're referring to was written by "JakeD".

I really wouldn't want to be mistaken for him.

Anne B, you are so wrong. Some woman are the sweetest of candies. They are gifts from the gods! However, Hillary is like that weird candy from a foreign country that never tasted right.

Edwards is extremely disappointing! He just looks pathetic for taking so long to endorse. What deal did he make? What did they promise him? Also, did anyone notice his emphasis on "man" when referring to Obama? These "boys" are going to be very surprised when the women don't get on board in the fall. I know that the 15 women in my family are definitely NOT.

I cannot bring myself to vote for Obama.

When Obama had a chance to pull the plug on war funding, he chose not to; when Obama spoke to a female reporter in Michigan he referred to her as a "sweetie"... I just cannot bring my self to vote for another inexperienced man who views women as pieces of candy!

Frankly, I am tired of having inexperienced men running (ruining) this country. Its time for American women to be in the drivers seat and not in the back seat.
By the way Obama, contrary to your elitist upbringing, women are not pieces of candy!

this is to LisaSt posted about 20 min ago.....

Apparently you are not up to speed on how campaign finance works, The money Obama has left over will cover Hillary's debt,because if not it goes straight to the DNC and sits there to do nothing. This is common knowledge!

As well as Obamas main backers are pharmaceutical industry, so how do you think they will feel when he supposedly reforms health care? That 10% of people that he spoke of that will not sign up for health care if given the opportunity, there is a loop hole there.They have been a extremely large supporter to his campaign financially.

As far as raising his money from, he raised that money by bundling. Archive the Post, they did an article on it. The Bush administration did it as well.

True Dems/independents, when Al gore was asked to step aside in 2000 he did, and all we did was shake our fingers at him for giving up, now we shake out fingers at Hillary for not giving up?

We should let our other Americans speak before anyone gives up, there are more states to vote, they should have a voice?

Super delegates, you really believe that is how this country should work?

I cannot bring myself to vote for Obama.

When Obama had a chance to pull the plug on war funding, he chose not to; when Obama spoke to a female reporter in Michigan he referred to her as a "sweetie"... I just cannot bring my self to vote for another inexperienced man who views women as pieces of candy!

Ralphinphnx,

Yes, because all of us who support Obama got somehow fooled by his campaign and at times may become Judas, since HIlary is Jesus.

Dear GOD helps us, we that have betrayed the one.

Hillary Clinton said today that it would be a "terrible mistake" for her supporters to vote for John McCain over Barack Obama.

This announcement by Edwards today proves what a dissapointment he really is. The manipulation of the timing is extremely suspect and speaks quite ill of Obama and Edwards. I also wonder if Elizabeth's absence was for personal reasons or support for Hillary. I knew that she is by far the better of the two.

No, Obama this endorsement today speaks so clearly of your dirty Chicago tactics that you and Axelrod are so used to and that has not been reported in the national media. But some of us keep in touch with your real doings in Chicago. Your smirk and peevish attitude reflect that you are only about yourself and will do anything to win.

You fail to realize that Edwards will add very little to your ticket because guess what, you fail to see that a great majority of decent americans see through your game. You are biting more than you can chew and your ineptitude and lack of experience is coming to bite you and could be your downfall when you get totally trounced by the Republican machinery.

You have committed a FATAL political sin of ignoring and underestimating a significant population who will not vote for you no matter what you do from now until November. The worst sin is to pretend to be someone that you really are not with your elitist and grandiose attitude. The fact is that the great majority of americans are your hard working class and you totally snubbed them and will pay the price come election time.

And Florida and Michigan will be resolved despite your underhanded deals with Howard Dean to manipulate this election.

The Democratic Party is running a major risk of losing this election with the poor leadership and mishandling of these Primaries. And here we go again another major failure and you cannot blame it on the Republicans.

Hillary, I applaud you and do not give up!!!

Just think: why is it that the most educated segments of the society, and the young whose future is ahead of them, support Obama? Doesn't that say volumes about the quality of the candidate and what his follower collectively see in his ability to shape the future of this society? And isn't that what America is all about?

All the haters out there will have a stroke when they see Obama being called "Mr. President" or "President Obama"! I'll be there to see it live on 20 January 2009 (it's marked on my calendar)!

Someone PLEASE ...
... tell BILLARY Clinton to STOP agonizing us with her NONSENSICAL campaign!

Edwards endorsing Obama now? What took him so long? ; )

Actually his timing could not have been better. Edwards endorsement of Obama is helping to keep the West Virginia primary for Hillary as second page news.

With Edward's endorsement comes 18 pledged delegates and 1 superdelegate endorsement that will most likely go towards Obama.

Presently Obama is 25 pledged delegates away from having the majority of pledged delegates for the 2007/2008 Democratic Presidential nomination season and is 133 (not including the 18 pledged delegates + 1 superdelegate from John Edwards) total delegates away from cinching the nomination!

Rhetorical question of the night:

Why does everyone think everyone not like them hates them?

So much vitriol bashing working class/college educated rural/urban black/white
male/female. I don't get it. I come from an extended family that has just about any kind of people you want (okay, no blacks... but several asians and hispanics in the rest of us white folks). We have working class, masters degrees, unemployed, ruined marriages. We are protestant, catholic, jewish. We all get along fine. We are very different people, with very different interests, etc., but I don't think we hate or resent each other, overtly or covertly.

My guess is most extended families are the exact same way.

Again, the question: if your extended family doesn't resent or hate each other, why would generic unknown other mixed groups of people hate each other?

Too many folks have been listening to too many talk radio types who for years have been trying to convince everyone that everyone else is out to get them... while collecting huge paydays for getting their millions of listeners to listen every week.

Believe reality. Most of the hatred is fantasy.

Edwards is a solid debater, but has always had a lingering self-serving aura about him.
That said, he may well have been the better choice to lead the ticket in 2004.

Quite the photogenic pair though and I suppose he has the advantage of being well vetted already. Hard to underestimate these considerations in today's media and sound-bite driven campaign context.

WildBill: YOU CAN CALL HIM ALL THE NAMES YOU WANT BUT JUST FROM READING YOUR "POST" IT'S OBVIOUS HE HAS MORE CLASS, SMARTS, AND EDUCATION THAN YOU JUST IN HIS LITTLE FINGER!!!...IS THAT WHY YOU CALL HIM A "MONKEY"???, YOUR INFERIORITY COMPLEX??? YOU POOR BABY!!! SOME OF YOU RACISTS HAD BETTER GET A GRIP BEFORE YOU HAVE A STROKE OR A HEART ATTACK!!!

The longer she stays in the race, the more of a fool she becomes and the more super-delegates she alienates. The more money she "loans" her campaign, the bigger will be her campaign's bankruptcy filing.

Kudos to John Edwards for endorsing Obama just when Clintonites want to spin West Virginia into some kind of national mandate for Clinton's presidency. Let's face it: she lost, Obama won. Old, divisive politics lost; new, forward looking, substantive politics won.

Hillary has few primarys to pick up momentum.But very few,W V was short lived.Well done O bama and his campaign.

WildBill, you must be a white man. That is okay, my brother human being. However, remember this when you go to bed tonight: Obama gained 19 delegates from that "loser," wiping out HRC's gains from last night, and more.

After N. Carolina? Ah, I do not care about gettingin line for a party reason that is the media premise NOT MINE! That endorsement is as effective as the Kennedy's in Mass. where Hillary won,Caroline Kennedy in NY where Hillary won, Maria Shriver in Calif where Hillary won, Patrick Kennedy in Rhode Island where Hillary won, Jay Rockefeller in W.Va. where Hillary Won and many others where Hillary won-ha.

It does seem that these 'celebrities' do not have their ears to the ground & realize the threat to 'their' mainstream ideas and values is what they are endorsing. ONE LOSER ENDORSING ANOTHER LOSER.

The West Virginia resounding defeat of Obama was an expression of PEOPLE POWER that proclaimed Sen. Clinton is the Democratic presidential nominee. The PEOPLE POWER of Sen Clinton's victory trounced the pro-Obama biased media. Superdelegates who are endorsing Obama daily in an end run around the Democratic process like Caucuses - not democratic ! (Edwards) & ultra liberal Obama and his superdelegates are taking presidency down the path of a train wreck in November- again.
Go Hillary....even as an independent candidate if necessary!

Mr. Maranci,
Your emphasis on the middle names of the candidates is comical. Whatever you are trying to say with it is both unfounded and unnecessary. I get the Hussein link. Are you trying to say John Edwards has the name of the shoe bomber? That is the only thing that I could infer from your not-so-subtle attempt to be witty or to prove an invalid point. You missed horribly. That is pathetic by the way if true.
Obama might just carry NC in the general election given the mobilization of the African American vote. Edwards did not carry that demographic and Obama will handily. He is winning the liberal vote soundly and picked up 45% of the moderate in the recent Elon Poll.
His endorsement does matter because he was the third most prominent and influential candidate for President. He will pick up some white voters and will also benefit from the backing of prominent members of the party.

Wow! The endorsement of a three time loser who couldn't even defeat W in 2004. Good luck to you Obama-monkey.

Don't worry, Mr. Edwards doesnt need your vote to be dogcatcher. He has betrayed Clinton in what way? Was he supposed to support her because she's White? What else do they have in common besides a law degree (in which they represent opposite sides, her being a corporate lawyer and all). Reality check, he had more in common with Obama to begin with, the long wait for an endorsement was to make sure that - ding, dong the witch is dead..

There is no stopping Senator Obama now. Thank the gods!!!

O for sho.

That's who I'm votin' fo.

That's no Bo.

Seriously, Obama won. It's over. Clinton fans should be excited. She's going to be a great Senator in New York.

The Hillbots seem quite agitated this evening.

Ol' Hillary's getting some of her own medicine. Back whenever she would have a stumble (a primary loss, a lie caught on videotape), she would change the subject with SOMETHING: bring up J. Wright, some bigoted crack, whatever it took to get her bad news or Obama's good news off the front page. Now, Obama's changing the subject from Hillary's WV margin with this Edwards endorsement.

Everything JakeD said is true vis a vis the delegate race. But if the delegate race is all that matters, Hillary's toast anyway. In practical terms, Edwards' endorsement is just one more sign the party is uniting -- coalescing, if you will -- behind Obama.

Obama is going to become President. There are the talkers -- the posters you see on WaPo.com that pump up Hillary and McCain -- and then there are those who back up their opinions with hard cash. Those people make Obama the odds-on favorite to win in November. So talk is cheap.

Hurrah!!!!Huuuuurah!!!

THANK YOU JOHN! WE WON'T FORGET THIS OR YOU!
HAWAII FOR OBAMA '08

Take a good look at the picture at the top; you'll see it again in August. Obama-Edwards 2008...

Obama will make a great orator, I mean President...

Some endorsement! Remembering that Royal Bank of Scotland commercial, I was crying out "The end!" well in advance of Edwards' finish. It seemed like he was endorsing himself before finally getting to Obama. Then, he said Obama was the "best man" for the job, obviously leaving things open for Hillary as the unvoiced "best woman." Edwards is ridiculous and, if anything, may hurt Obama.

Gotta wonder what HRC is up to. Originally I thought she was trying to recover her $11.4 millin loan. Now I wonder if she expects the VP slot or some other choice morsel. Hope Obama doesn't fall for her BS

Well, it makes sense for Edwards to endorse Senator Obama, after all BO did win in North Carolina. The Judas was Governor Richardson, who went against the vote in New Mexico when he endorsed BO.

B-a-c-k Obama

JakeD: you're quite a genius. You judge people by their names. That's a brilliant way to approach life. Hey, maybe I don't like people named Jake, and even though you might be a swell person, I'll never know because I'll always dislike you for your name. Take a minute to think about it, please.

Johnny REID Edwards is so insignificant that both candidates adopted his stump speech about reaching out to "working class Americans" and both have been begging for his endorsement since he dropped out.... right.. and NC with several Dems in congress and the governor's seat would _never_ go democrat in the election..... right... keep believing that buddy.

Boo! Hiss! Thumbs Down On John The Sell Out
Edwards For His Treachorous Betrayal Of
Senator Hillary Clinton! So John Edwards
Will Never Get My Vote Again, Not Even For
Dogcatcher Of A Small One Dog Town In
Arizona! Edwards Is A Real Loser And This
Proves It!

Obama got coattails! In three special elections, Obama's aid help unseat three GOP strongholds in IL, LA and deep south MS. The GOP must be quite worried about this and Obama!

Prepare for frothing and screams of "Judas!" from Hillary supporters in 3, 2, 1...

To recap -- Johnny REID Edwards recently stated that there was not much weight his endorsement would have on the race -- as also set forth in the thread below ("limited impact"). Edwards is NOT a Super Delegate and, technically, cannot force his pledged delegates to side with Barack HUSSEIN Obama anyway. Edwards could not even carry his own state when running for VP in 2004. Obama will not carry North Carolina in the general election. So, Edwards is insignificant.
