From: Howard Dean
Re: It’s A Mad Mad Mad Mad World
Date: May 14, 2008

With respect to Florida and Michigan - as well as the popular vote, elected delegates, states won and superdelegates in your quest for the nomination, here’s the scoop:

We figured it seventeen different ways, and every time we figured it, it was no good, because no matter how we figured it somebody didn't like the way we figured it. So now there's only one way to figure it, and that is every man for himself.

Sincerely,
Howard Dean

PS - Ding 'Dingy' Bell (Mickey Rooney): So good luck, and may the best man win.

Hillary Clinton: Oh, Bill, I feel sick.
Bill Clinton: Now take it easy, honey. These things happen, ya know.
Mother-in-Law Ethel Merman: Now what kind of an attitude is that, 'these things happen?' They only happen because this whole country is just full of people who, when these things happen, they just say 'these things happen,' and that's why they happen! We gotta have control of what happens to us.

Wouldn't this have had more teeth 3 months ago??

Edwards has said all along he may not endorse anybody so this sudden shift after Hillary's WV win last night may have caused him to feel Obama is in trouble with the "new electoral map" as the voting is shown to be increasingly racially divisive. He might think that, as a southern politician, he would be able to shore up the southern vote expected to go to McCain. But he didn't shore it up as Kerry's running mate.

More likely he was waiting for the better cabinet position. I remember hearing something about a poverty czar in the Obama White House???

What would really be sweet if after the dust settles and Obama is the nominee that Edwards would be on his list for running mates. I've met alot of people who are skittish about Obama, wary of Hillary, but have a great deal of respect for Edwards. Not sure that Edwards would say yes, but I think it would go a long way in reassuring some of the blue collar democrats that Obama is a candidate who is on their side.

Now this race really is over. With Edwards 18 Pledged Delegates added, Obama only needs to win 10 out of the 103 pledged delegates at stake in Oregon and Kentucky. Obama will not only have a majority of the pledged delegates by May 20th, he'll win by a significant margin. Bill and Hillary Clinton and their campaign to get back into the White House are now completely irrelevant. It's done. The Clintons are now going to be ushered off the political stage--perhaps kicking and screaming, perhaps with the assistance of security, but they are definitely finished.

Finally, better late than never. I have no doubt that the timing of Sen. Edwards endorsement is very well thought out by Obama's campaign, coming as it does on the heels of last nights results in West Virginia. If there has ever been a more brilliant strategy for a campaign I would like to know who it was. Obama has vision, an obvious understanding of what it takes to build a coalition across this country and I have every confidence that he will be successful in November by bringing a whole new generation of voters into the process, as well as continuing to energize people to support his candidacy. I have always had respect for John Edwards, surely his endorsement of BO will help him with some of those reluctant voters in the South. Thank you Sen. Edwards!

To "The Truth Hurts",

It really hurts in PR where their votes mean almost nothing because they can't vote in the general unless they fly to NYC, Miami, LA, or Chicago - and register there. They have no electoral college votes, so the PR vote is purely cosmetic. With BO in the White House this might change. PR voters should have full citizens' rights or we should cut them loose. Their choice, our obligation.

Banded together to make the announcement at the exact hour a significant interview with Clinton was to air on CNN. Could they not have just let the whole thing play out? Can't wait to see what Edwards gets out of this. Obama/Edwards ticket? That will turn even more Democrats away from the party. Good going guys! Way to alienate 50% of the Democratic party!

To Truth Hurts: How exactly does a win in Puerto Rico enable Hilary to win? Just asking. Because I try not to buy into all the hype, and go by the metric that will be used at the convention. The delegate count. At this point in time we do not yet have a solution for FL and MI , the number sits at 2025. (we can argue the 2209 later if and when the FL and MI delegetes get seated). With that in mind, and at the current moment Obama appears to have a lead in both both pledged and supers, how does Puerto Rico put Clinton over the top? I really want to understand. I just don't see how the math works.

To those that believe that Obama is not electable, reconsider base on the following:
1)Obama has helped democrats win 3 special elections in republican districts in LA, MS and IL. If his name is on the top of the ticket, democrats will win both the house and senate in the fall.

2) Obama is changing the electoral map. Colorado, Missouri, Minessota, New Mexico, Virgina and Iowa come to play. Plus, Georgia, North Carolina, Lousiana, South Carolina and Mississippi may come to play. Even if we don't win the deep south, it forces the republicans to campaign there. We know that the OH, PA and FL plan does not work. Democrats lost two elections base on the big state plan. If Kerry and Gore won either colorado and virgina they would have been president.

3) he has register millions of new voters which expands the democratic party and help us in winning the election.
These are a few things to think about.

patty,sc,ca - get over it. How someone can go from Hillary to McCain is beyond me. They have two things in common: they voted for the war and they are white. If you support the war, please join the effort and fight overseas. If you want a white candidate, just say so.

Thank you. This is the most perfect timing. Had it been before NC it would of been looked at as he only won because of Edwards he won on his own merits.

Yes, the truth does hurt because popular vote is not the common denominator metric used to nominate. It's the pledged delegates. If you only count the popular vote, you're disenfranchising voters in the caucus states that didn't have a popular vote count. Also, Puerto Rico does get to vote in the primary, but they don't get to vote in the general election.

I was an Edwards supporter and I think this endorsement will be a great boost to Obama. I have nothing against Senator Clinton, but I do think she should withdraw from the race--the handwriting is clearly on the wall.

If not for Edwards dropping out just before Super Tuesday Barack Obama would never have caught and surpassed "Desperate" Hillary. By turning it into a two candidate race Edwards allowed Obama to expand his base of supporters.

Go Obama 08/12!
