WaPo: Edwards Supporters Start to Swing to Obama
Edited on Thu May-15-08 05:35 PM by faygokid
The dam has broken. . .

By Shailagh Murray
Washington Post

Former Democratic candidate John Edwards has joined the Barack Obama bandwagon, but will his small band of delegates and superdelegates follow his lead?

At least six of the eight pledged delegates that Edwards won in South Carolina are expected to jump to the Illinois senator, according to the South Carolina newspaper The State. And at least one of Edwards's four pledged delegates in New Hampshire has re-committed to the likely nominee. Edwards's four pledged delegates from the Iowa caucuses remain up for grabs . . .

. . . Seven of Edwards' DNC superdelegates have shifted to Obama; two have switched to Clinton. Five remain uncommitted. So that leaves a total of 18 Edwards convention votes for both campaigns to phonebank until they break.

4. really? nope. nothing out there indicates what you wish.
Sorry, dems have gained, not lost voters over the last couple of years. Wishful thinking on your part. You're in a very small minority. Enjoy it.

5. Actually the largest growing group of voters is Independent.
And that isn't wishful thinking but a fact. Google it.

8. Without the Indi vote Obama would be far behind Clinton.
Probably far behind Edwards and Richardson, too.

12. Good grief, the thread is being hijacked by bitter enders.
Far be it from me to inject a dose of reality.

Oh well. Enjoy McCain! We're gonna win anyway. If Bush's "performance" today, and the election in Mississippi last night, didn't convince you to rethink, then far be it for me to burst your bubble.

I am just a humble poster here.

17. I'm not going anywhere. You, on the other hand, may soon have no choice.
We will have a nominee soon.

Sorry you're bitter.
