If Edwards endorses Clinton....(from an Edwards supporter)
Advertisements [?]
Edited on Mon Feb-11-08 06:54 PM by Infinite Hope
it'll be clear to this 5-year Edwards supporter that he sold out for some type of promise. In this campaign, he stood solidly against everything Hillary's candidacy meant in terms of its character, ethics, and decency. He stood against their kind of politics and, as he himself noted numerous times, he and Obama were far closer on those as well as overall closer on the issues.

It's time for Edwards to put his endorsement where his mouth is, or rather, where his heart is. And his endorsement or lack thereof will tell us everything about his true heart:
1)No endorsement = not as committed and passionate to his causes as he led us to believe because there's a clear distinction between the two remaining candidates and to lay low is to declare himself indifferent after all.
2)If he supporters Clinton, it's clear he did so for his own political future for the reasons above.
3)If he supports Obama, it's clear he picked the candidate that, while an imperfect match to his ideals, is a close cousin. It'll be clear he stuck to his ideals and is committed to the kind of change he spoke so fondly of.
