It looks like Obama and Edwards are attacking each other and ignoring Hillary

Very interesting how this will play out.

...and Edwards is once again his old smiling self.

as a backup choice in a later round if it doesn't work out for Obama. I like them both and would love to see an Obama/Edwards or Edwards/Obama ticket.

I hope you're just talking shit.

about the two highlighting their differences on ISSUES. Please don't believe anything you read here without a link or backup.

Did Edwards attack Obama recently?

doesn't make too much sense as Hillary then has time to move from Defense, back onto message and just do the work necessary in the States she's currently focusing on without distraction.

sending out flyers attacking Edwards regarding some of his votes, but Edwards talked about the issues on several programs yesterday. While he did mention BOTH Clinton & Obama's votes on certain issues, he didn't directly hone in on Obama. Maybe I missed something.

You provide no link, no factual backup. I'm assuming you're referring to a post where they pointed out the differences in their healthcare plans. I hate to tell this to the Hillary Camp, but pssttt... that's not an attack. Stop the bullshit. I'm freakin sick of it.

SPENCER, IA.— Question for Monday: how will Barack Obama handle John Edwards showing strength—a stream of media attention finally and the cover of Newsweek with the headline “Sleeper.” An endorsement from the wife of the Iowa governor today.

Answer, as of 10:27 a.m. central time is that Obama is getting tougher against Edwards. Talking about the problem with “special interests,” Obama, speaking in the auditorium at Spencer High School, said, “everybody now in the campaign talks about how I am going to fight for you."


“Like Senator Edwards who is a good guy, he's been talking a lot about I am going to fight the lobbyists and the special interests in Washington. Well the question you have to ask is were you fighting for 'em when you were in the Senate? What did you do? Because I did something, immediately upon arriving in the Senate..."

Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama made a swing through northern Iowa Monday, arguing he's the candidate best prepared to fight special interests in Washington. "And that's why when I hear some other candidates talk about, 'Vote for me because I know how to work the system,' -- the system hasn't been working for us," Obama said during an appearance in Spencer. "When people say, 'I know how to play the game better. Vote for me,' -- we don't need somebody to play the game better. We need somebody to put an end to the game playing."

Obama talked of his efforts to curb lobbyists' influence by forbidding certain gifts to members of congress. During that appearance in Spencer, Obama mentioned rival John Edwards by name, contrasting his own Senate record in tackling special interests with the record Edwards compiled when he was in the Senate.

Edwards told reporters in Des Moines he "respects" Obama "enormously" but Edwards went on to make the case that he, not Obama, is better prepared to fight corporate interests. "I do believe that we have a battle -- not against politicians -- but a very important fight against drug companies, insurance companies, oil companies, etcetera," Edwards said. "And I think that we need a fighter who's ready for that fight and I know that I am. I've been engaged in that fight and winning it my whole life."

I know it's hard to understand that, but people can talk about differences without it being an attack.

Obama doesn't think so. go to the hillary attacks portion of his website. Hell, his supporters even think using his fucking real middle name is an attack.

I don't have time to hunt down supposed attacks.

are competing and both have pointed out policy differences. Nothing wrong with that.

nt

And it's kind of sad. Honey.

was about Edwards and Obama:dunce:

Edwards, isn't attacking any one, the media speculates that Edwards is pulling more people than Obama, and that is why he is giving Edwards a fit.

They both aren't going to be left standing with Hillary eventually. Only one will be the "alternative" candidate.

Nice try, tho, to try to turn rumor into fact. Hillaryesque.

of it!! I know it seems unreal, but something tells me something real nasty is afloat! And it's NOT coming from EITHER Edwards OR Obama!

When a campaign has so many BIG names with HUGE amounts of money and tentacles all over, it doesn't seem that improbable that THEY are pulling strings all over!! I am really sorry for thinking this way, but since so much has happened I TRUST nothing!

And I just posted something like this at another thread, and it DEPRESSES me!

It is hard to imagine that they've just been this freakin incompetent on purpose..
:tinfoilhat:

you know? I'm NOT that prone to conspiracy theories myself, but I have become very cynical!

And I could be completely out in left field with this... just saying!

You guys are just plain old fucking sad.
