19. Cali I hope your right, he said in a comment he wasn't interested in VP
but then don't they all say it unitl its offered? Webb's book is out today and it looks awesome. And if he were to be VP he's another academy grad.(CARTER)

26. Silly question, I know
but are senators considered "national"? When I read "national" it made me think of either a former President, former VP, or former Pres candidate.

I would be so thrilled if it's Webb though.

9. I heard it might be Edwards ... Gore would be better
I'd be happy with Carter but he gets so much grief around here
I don't know whether DU would consider his endorsement a plus
or not.

8. call at 5:30 and announcement before rally at 6:30 was moved from
7pm. An entire thread on it over at kos. one journalist with a blog says its not Edwards, Halperin says he thinks its Edwards. Speculation runs wild- Feinstein, Powell, Hagel and on and on. Focus on Big and National. Some hopeing Gore.That would include me of course. Love the Gore's.

21. What about Boxer who said she would endorse whoever won her state. That would
be a real switch, many of the SD's wanting cover to switch are from the golden state.(golden for the golden hills, not the bridge)

20. That's it
At 5:30 you're scheduled to go on TV and explain why the frontrunner will withdraw. Then the whole nation will go out for free ice cream.

25. ABSOLUTELY!
I think the candidate with the most pledged delegates, most super delegates, most votes, most states won, most primaries won, most caucuses won should NEVER BE OUR NOMINEE!!!

Hillary/ Baghdad Bob 08!!!

13. Time's Marc Halperin says "John Edwards boarded an airplane this afternoon." To where, I would ask?
Source: John Edwards boarded an airplane this afternoon.

Obama campaign touts big evening endorsement between 6:15 pm ET and 7:15 pm ET.

Urges/expects significant television coverage of major endorsement.

22. It's probably going to be a disappointment
How many times has the Obama campaign teased a "major" endorsement just to end up announcing someone who is a respected senator or governor but not a major national figure like we all think it will be?
