it will be interesting to see if my theory is right that he has been posturing on being "torn" between Hillary (who has no chance of beating John McCain since she's not much different) or Obama (who will smash McCain because he's the polar opposite).

hmmm.... who should I endorse? Maybe I have to have a meeting and get to know them both a little better.... crap.

He's so weak and opportunistic to have waited this long.
He's not torn. He's a wimp. Step up man! endorse Obama already!

Why don't you guys help voters analyze both Obama's and Hillary's mailers to ensure they are not being misled? I find Hillary's mailer to be laden with obvious lies. I am not trying to accuse Hillary, but I just don't think it is appropriate for candidates to ride a political wave on being better liars and having voters believe their lies.
By the way, you cannot catch up with comments posted but with your own analyses.

If Edwards is smart, he will endorse Obama and start campaigning for him in OH and TX. It will counterbalance the unfair advantage of having an ex-president out there stumping. If OH and TX went to Obama, the party could start to lick its wounds and get ready for November. The longer Billary lingers, the more damage she will do.

iowan — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 21:47:56 GMT

Will an Edwards 'endorsement' mean anything one way or another?

Seems he's a fellow that has has principles and sticks to them, even if one does not like the way he presents them (Worker good; corporation bad). One of the principles seems to be to, even though he's a bit too impassioned of an advocate, to leave it to the voters to decide (mostly). He's done that by staying away for a few weeks. I don't see him as being in a position to 'demand' anything nor do I see Obama as a guy who would give something he doesn't have to give.

I assume he will endorse Wednesday, which should either buoy someone after a loss, or maybe drive the nail in the coffin.

Edwards' problem, IMO, is that he lost the ability to distinguish between himself and his 'cause', something that every experienced trial lawyer knows is a fatal problem. You lend your credibility to your cause, you let those who decide, decide. You don't tell them what to do. (See Clinton, Hillary.)

I hope he endorses Obama, without strings, but don't see him as having huge power to bring Joe Six Pack over to Obama's side. Ol' Joe is a pretty smart guy on his own, something Obama is willing to give him credit for.

At last! Senator Edwards' endorsement is like a stock option - an asset whose value diminishes by the day. He should endorse Senator Obama immediately and hope to become Secretary of State in the coming Obama administration. If he goes for Senator Clinton, it will be like becoming the purser on the Titanic. Tempus fugit (Time flies), Senator.

Alvin Brown, Seattle, WA — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 21:54:05 GMT

When reporting on this intense race between the two democratic Senators it is imperative that the media report from a standpoint of fairness. One example, how can you report in articles that Sen Clinton won Florida and Michigan, when there was not a contest, nor was Sen. Obama's name even on the ballot. To straight-faced report that she won the states is inaccurate....there were no contests and the voters of those states and both Sen. Clinton and Obama knew the rules going in. If those state want to petition to the Democratic Party to have a caucus, then by all means, let those states have them, but that decision was made by the Democratic Party already. The true Constitutional question at hand is "Does the Democratic Party truly have the power to tell American voters of Florida and Michigan that they cannot participate in the Democratic process at any level?" That's the true question. When the Constitutional question is answered, then we have our answer. If no constitutional rights are abridged then case closed - let's move on. If constitutional right are tampered with - let's have a real election in those states where both candidates are allowed to campaign and have both their names on the ballot.

I read the posts here with open mind which is probarbly a handicap because there are plenty of you who post a comment fully aware that it is dishonest and probarbly love chaos in your everyday life. Majority of you are incapable of presenting your case in an inteligent and factual manner. Clinton supporters refuse to look at the snap of her mismanaged campaign as an indication of the kind of cabinet she will have. Sometimes dirty politics help but Obama do not want none of that and he may lose because he does not want to play dirty. Look people, our country is at risk of getting infected with a virus called dirty politicians...oh wait i am already too late. We can begin to cure ourselves of this virus by at the least posting comment that focus on inteligent points rather than the crap i see all the time.

Goodluck

I have the SOLUTION. Clinton herself states that she must win Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania to even have a chance at the nomination. So the answer is simple. Make sure Obama wins Texas. Then this will be over on March 4th and we can get on with the business of beating John McCain. It is the only way to keep the party from being torn apart. There are lots of ways to help Senator Obama win in Texas. Please some to his website BarrackObama.com.

Does anyone have any problems with Mrs. Obama's speeches? She sounds too angry at times. And what is this I read the Oprah Winfrey (rich but not qualified to pick a president, anymore than Daschle and Kerry are) a little too righeous? Where's the spouse standard for her instead of only for Bill Clinton? I mean, be fair. Where's the press analysis of Obama's plans? All he gets is photo ops and speech coverage, without giving time to any in depth questioning of his presidential plans. It's not professional to just say "it's on my website". Perhaps that's a cover for his difficulty in debating Hillary's. It was the debating that turned me to Hillary. She's smart, experienced. And what with the Obama flip flop on th nuclear waste lobbyists/deal?? I mean, where's the beef? All he says is "let's not be negative". Asking for facts and explanations are the American way. That's not negative. That's forthrightness. And it's beginning to look like Obama's achilles heel is his attempt to avoid actually talking in details about plans for this nation.

I always watch NBC news, but have had it with MSNBC being the Hillary Clinton channel so from now on I will be watching ABC News. I tried to log on to a story about Clinton and Obama campaigning in Wisconsin and instead was led to a fluff story about Clinton traveling with the Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin (no mention of the fact that the Governor had endorsed Obama.) The story goes on to repeat talking points from Clinton's speech but make no mention of that fact that Clinton and Obama talked to the Wisconsin Democratic Commitee last night and that Obama brought them to a standing ovation. A couple of days ago another station reported that Obama drew a croud of 17,000 people in Wisconsin while Bill Clinton drew 2,000. Bill was doing so poorly in Wisconsin that the campaign decided to send him to Texas to speak to Latinos and Hillary had to come to Wisconsin to campaign at the last minute - she had planned to skip Wisconsin herself. Do we hear any of this on MSNBC - no. All we hear is about what Hillary said and what Chelsea said - give me a break. MSNBC stop trying to create a false buzz for this tired bunch and report the news that way it is happening.

Edwards has no particular "hiney" to kiss right now- he's not stupid! He has already spoken with the Clinton campaign.

Everyone sure doesn't want the Superdelegates to disenfranchise the voters, but are all of you also petitioning to allow Florida and Michigan's voters the same rights to have their voices heard?

Once again I call on supporters of Senator Clinton to stop disparaging the supporters of Senator Obama. Really, what have we ever done to you? We chose a different candidate, please try and get over it.

I once more send my thoughts and prayers to John Edwards and his family. I believe Senator Edwards is a good man and a strong advocate for people who have little political voice in this world.

While I sincerely hope Senator Edwards will join with Senator Obama to help bring Americans together around a common cause, I certainly will not blame him if he instead chooses Senator Clinton. Everyone has to make up his or her own mind about something as critical as this.

I do encourage Senator Edwards and anyone else reading this post, to give Senator Obama a chance. Senator Obama is offering us more than hope, more than solutions, more than a new uplifting politics; Senator Obama is offering us a positive change in mindset and a rapid improvement in how America is viewed by the rest of the world which will result in increased soft power for us and lower the need of reliance on our military.

Together Americans can do anything. I sincerely hope all Americans can believe this simple truth and reject the politics of insult, inneundo and negativity.

Yes we can! Obama '08

Indeed, Mr. Dobbs, the numbers don't lie. Obama is leading in the delegate count, leading in the "Poll Of Polls," and beats McCain nationwide by 10 percentage points, 49% to 39%, while McCain would beat Hillary at 44% to 42%. (Admittedly, that is within the margin of error.)
I respect Senator Clinton for her solid record of constituent support in New York, but the fact is, her 6 years in the Senate have produced not a single important piece of legislation.
Senator Obama is indeed relatively untested and unproven. But he did do some important work on an anti-proliferation initiative, and he got that earmark tracking program up and running. Not to mention, of course, he was right about this illegal war.
And he can beat McCain. Will he? It's anyone's guess at this point. But Hillary's negatives are simply too high to overcome.

I'll be very disappointed in Edwards if, in the end, he supports Hillary. Positioning himself as a man in touch with the plight of American workers and families, I don't see how he can support mandated health insurance. I think a lot of people are confused, and think that Hillary's mandate that everyone must be required to have insurance means that somehow it will be provided for everyone. Instead, it would make it a LAW that YOU must BUY her insurance plans, whether or not you can afford to do so. Just another burden on Americans struggling to pay utility bills, mortgages, and rising grocery and gasoline costs.

I don't think Obama's short visit to Chapel Hill to visit Edwards is any different than Clinton's. If anything, Obama has still spent a considerable amount of time visiting all parts of the country, including Wisconsin.

I feel sorry for the folks of Wisconsin who are being subject to Clinton's absenteeism and negative campaigning. It shows that Clinton places less value on their state and far more on Texas and Ohio. On general principle, I think she should not be elected.

Pleasssse, Fred. Where were the Clintons when their friend David Letterman called Barack Obama "Osama" TWICE! Where was CBS? And where was the outrage when Bill & Hillary + their many surrogates absolutely trashed the women Bill abused? Remember when they tried to argue "that woman" Monica Lewinsky was a stalker--only after they had argued Bill was just trying to help her. And recall that after Jennifer Flowers & Paula Jones revealed Bill's abuse, James Carville (the chief, paid Clinton attack dog) made comments about these women's accusations being the result of "dragging money through a trailer park." Double standard? You bet. And also typical pattern--the Clintons will do or say anything to win & always have, no matter who it hurts! They also blame everyone but themselves.

Then we got stuck with Cowboy Bush thanks to all the intelligent voters out there --not once but twice. Pay attention this time. Hillary Clinton is the better choice,she is strong and will work hard for the American people. I know, I am from NY. Is she perfect-no---mistakes--yes. She is human remember? Obama I am sure has made some but he hasn't been around long enoungh for the media, the press and the voters to pick him apart with. That is his advantage. Not much history behind him yet. Bill is defending his wife--a normal reaction. All during Cowboy Bushs' Presidency, its' been blame Bill. Obama would get my vote 4-8 years from now. Hillary is the right candidate right now.

Mark, VA — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 12:15:00 GMT

Since the super delegates are such a hot topic and Mr. Edwards is debating who and when to endorse, let me add my advice. Wait until after March 4th to see where things stands. The super delegates should wait to switch candidates until they are sure who the nominee is going to be. I think the same rings true for Mr. Edwards' delegates. I feel an Obama backlash coming since he is being made the front runner. Why do you think he is telling voters at his rallies that he is still the underdog? He realizes there is still a decent change that Clinton will be the nominee. If she wins big on March 4th, and her new strategy works things can shift quickly to her favor. What Obama is trying to do is talk everyone into coming to him so she cannot come back. But what do you think Obama's stance will be on super delegates if Clinton ends up with more over all raw votes, and pretty even (within 100) or even ahead in the primary delegates? Super delegates can always change their pledges at the end. No need to changing pledges now.

Senator Obama cancelled all his appointments in Wisconsin today using weather as an excuse, and led people to believe he was having a "down day" at home in Chicago, all after criticizing Senator Clinton for not spending enough time in Wisconsin.

Where's she? Toughing it out in the cold and snow.

If he wants to opt out of full time campaigning in Wisconsin in the days leading up to the primary (he was off all day Thursday as well for a down day at home in Chicago), he shouldn't be criticizing the Clinton campaign for the same.
S. R., Wausau, Wisconsin (Sent Sunday, February 17, 2008 4:41 PM)

First off, He was in WI since Tuesday, he took Thursday off to spend Valentines Day with his wife. If you want to hold that against him, then something is seriously wrong with you. Apparently it's no big thing for the Clintons to spend that day apart, but he prefers to spend it with his wife. I find that refreshing!

Second, just because he cancelled some events so that he could go and meet with a former candidate for a possible endorsement should also not be held against him. If anything, I can understand why he wanted to keep it low key. Reportedly, the reason why they didn't meet before was that reporters got wind of it and were staking out JE's place in NC.

If you're gonna be mad at anyone, you need to be mad at HRC for not showing up to your state until Saturday, especially with the primary on Tuesday.

Obama met with Edwards

I really don't think an Edwards endorsment will do much for either candidate.
The battle lines are already drawn, generation against generation, gender, race, social position, education, all of these groups have made their mind up based on the fluff presented by the media.
I agree with a previous poster on this thread, much of what I read here has no factual basis, it is based on the love affair of ones candidate.
Many posters who do not like Senator Obama feel that they cannot trust him based on what he does not says, this is valid.
many Obama supporters just can't stand Hillary and spew their emotional clap trap everyday and consider this good argument.
Those of you who support your candidates and their issues are doing the right thing, dissenting with issues, all you others are just throwing your poop around to get attention, babies do that too.
The 'hope and change' message is getting soooooo old, I want to hear what he will do from his own mouth, it is time for Senator Obama to go out on the limb and say what he will do instead of repeating the same tired message.
Until then I cannot support him during the primary season.

I agree with those who stated above that every day Edwards waits to endorse a candidate, the more meaningless his endorsement becomes. He may have already waited too long, but a small push can put a candidate over the top (re: 2008 Daytona 500)
