Three endorsements of Obama by Edwards

Edited on Mon Feb-11-08 06:53 PM by ProSense

Video: Edwards, Clinton, and Obama debate about Lobbyist

______________________________

Video: John Edwards on Countdown with Keith Olberman: 1-4-08

"The two change candidates won and the status quo was rejected."

"Senator Obama is a change candidate by any measure."

"Between the three of us, I think the most important thing is that we nominate a candidate, and I think it's either myself or Senator Obama, who will actually fight for the change that we need."

______________________________

The Edwards aide added that Obama's lack of a health care plan with a "mandate" is a "tough hurdle for him to get over." He added, however, that Edwards is much more in line with Obama on other issues.

And Obama has the best health care plan.

1. Edwards has repeatedly sided with Clinton on UHC considering she took his plan.

And that quote is the aide's opinion, not his. But if Obama is not willing to fight for UHC, then he isn't doing what Edwards said he needed to do. Who will fight for UHC?

2. Edwards can speak for himself.

There are numerous quotes both ways. One way or another, he'll speak out. I think there are a lot of places he agrees with both Obama and Clinton. However, considering how much he thinks universal coverage is the goal we should all be working for, I'd be very surprised if he comes out for Obama.

I could be wrong (and often am!) but that's just my general sense.
