John Edwards endorses Barack Obama

[duckdog]

You mean the media, Ivan?

Because Obama is new, exciting, very charismatic, etc.

And because, either because he is black or not, he is a man.

i doubt anyone would want to do her. that's just a sexist statement. did margret thacter have to sleep w/ people to be the prime minister? i don't think so. as long as she can get the job done, what's wrong w/ a little or a big ego.

i mean everyone. whoever voted for him. the delegates, the super delegates.

also i don't understand how some super delegates can jump ship after making a commitment. i can't change my vote after i have voted. it's their fault for not deciding properly on who they want. they cause all these who's gonna get nominated bullshit...

Yeah. Both parties need to eliminate super delegates alltogether.

In all fairness, this is the strongest set of candidates we've had for years.

...on the democratic side.

People are down on Hillary b/c she's a go-get'em woman. But how her supposed 'at all costs' attitude is much different than most male presidential contenders is beyond me. She's also disliked b/c she's a Clinton & plenty of people thought the White House was a circus when they were in office back in the day.

Hell, even if she was sleeping her way to the top, at least she's been living on planet Earth for the last 8 years, b/c clearly, the republican nominee has not.

Exactly. Great post!!!

But back to John Edwards - it would have helped Obama a lot more if he had taken a risk & endorsed him earlier. But naturally he was full of shit when he said he had no interest in being a running mate to the nominee, so he didn't want to back the wrong horse.
