|
That is, if John Edwards ever endorses. Edwards and Obama were closer on issues and Elizabeth has already stated that she likes Hillary's Healthcare ideas better. I think they would do something like this because both of them going one way or the other will add more division and I believe they would see this as a solution that would benefit the Democratic Party more.

| 1. The typical "Divided House" |
|
Edwards cannot endorse Hillary but I don't think he will endorse Obama either. Better for him to stay above the fray.

| 2. I think that's fine. Actually, I think that is great. |
|
They are two separate people and are allowed to support who they want to.
I like that they are confident enough in themselves as individuals to stand
for what they believe in & still stay together.

| 5. I love how they work together, I think Elizabeth would have been such an asset |
|
to our country if she'd been the first lady to Edwards' President, what a team. During the '04 election I couldn't help compare her with Laura Bush ("I never talk to George about his work" in response to how she felt about him going into Iraq) and there was just no contest.

| 3. Howard Fineman said on MSNBC last night that Elizabeth |
|
might be coming out for Hillary to campaign with her in NC.

| 4. I don't think he will endorse until there's a nominee. |
|
I certainly hope he doesn't endorse beforehand.

| 6. It won't make a difference here. |
|
North Carolina is an Obama state and an endorsement won't change that. No one is going to be swayed by endorsements this late in the game.

| 10. I think it's just part of the campaign game - Hillary plays up small bursts of good news while |
|
Obama has a steady stream of support that is announced often. They each are playing to how they think the superdelegates will be swayed. It's just PR and the superd's are the targeted audience.

| 7. If Elizabeth endorses Hill |
|
after the 'Obliterate Iran' remark, then she is not the woman that I think she is.

| 9. Hmmm, I hadn't thought about that, maybe the Healthcare thumbs up will be as far as that goes... |

| 8. Doesn't an Edwards endorsement hurt in NC? So what is he trying to do - |
|
drive down Obama's support?

people come-up with these crazy ideas?
Hillary has lost, and alienated her whole party in the process. She has also demonstrated how bankrupt the whole DLC way of doing things now is. There is absolutely nothing for anyone to gain by saddling themselves with her in any way, shape or form.
