Edwards' Campaign Manager to Endorse Obama

Is Bonior a superdelegate?

Has anyone considering voting for McCain ever heard the phrase, "When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." The beginning of this has already happened with the prominent position of the religious right-wing hate machine and their enormous influence on polixy issues and the imposition of their morality on the rest of us. McCain, as are all republicans who believe in the superior morality of the "party of God", will just be a continuation of these policies. For those of you who obviously don't read enough, Hillary's extreme comments of annihilation of Iran should they attack Israel are an extension of these extreme religious beliefs as the religious zealots in this country believe that Israel should be protected at all costs because they will help bring about the second coming of Christ with their eventual war with the Muslim world. It is time for the forward thinking, progressive minds and the normal people of our country to take it back. People who believe in charity and helping others and of negotiating before launching a misslie. I'd settle for a government who would help our own people in case of a disasterKatrina anyone?!). There are clear reasons why everyone hates us and why our standing in the world has suffered greatly and unbridled, blind, stupid patriotism is not the answer. Engagement with the rest of the world is. This is what Obama offers and hopefully will bring to our nation. We've already seen the disaster that has been the idiot Bush and that is what Hillary will bring. It is truly time for something different. Give Obama the chance to prove how great of a nation we can once again be. Remember, we won't always have the most bombs and tanks and then what? Think people...

John Edwards "We" always liked you. "We" also have great respect for you, but now "We" have to ask you to do something that no woman should have to ask a man. Grow a pair, support Mr. Obama, not because "We" are asking you, but because you know it is the right thing to do.

I really hope that Hillary supporters take a moment to REALLY learn about Obama, and not just rely on the media's spin. He has all of his policy ideas and how to impliment them on his website. He has very strong reasoning behind all of his decisions. If you really want the causes Hillary was fighting for to succeed, we need Obama in the White House.

Democrats Unite!
Obama 08!

I hope that Hillary supporters take a few moments to REALLY learn about Obama, and not just take the media's spin on things. He is a great candidate, and clearly explains all of his policy ideas and how to accomplish them on his website. He really has very intellegent reasoning for his positions.

Democrats Unite!
Obama 08!

I agree w/u Melissa, how can Clinton's supporters say they will not support Obama if he wins the nominee and yet be called Democrats.

OBAMA!!!!

Edwards is not brave to run, brave to VOTE.

Thank God voters did not have to choose.

edwards is a spineless, hen-pecked coward. i'm so glad that he will not be going anywhere near the white house. he can take his worthless endorsement and shove it......what a loser.

It is shameful and cowardly that Edwards' is holding his support from the two Democratic candidates. I would understand if John Edwards had carried a few states, but he didn't even come close in his home state of South Carolina. Edwards is holding out for a position. I certainly hope that he Hillary or Barack does not give him anything.
I am please to hear that Edwards' own campaign manager has endorsed Barack. At least he had the courage to stand up.
I used to like Edwards before he pulled tthis stunt. What a coward!

I'm happy about this news, but I'm so ashamed for John Edwards. When still in the race, he was the one that exposed senator Clinton's flaws the most effectively. Yet all this time, when he could have made a difference by endorsing a candidate he chose to hide and watch, but watch for what? That is what troubles me. Now his endorsement would mean nothing. By standing back silently while Elizabeth came out for Hillary, he only endorsed all the the distraction politics. To me that is pretty revealing.

I think he is right. And by the same rule she shouldn't push for Florida and Michigan which the party rule nullified the 'primaries.' She can stay all the way sice she cannot see the finger of God!

Horrible Hateful Hillary has hideously played her last card: a racist play for West Virginia and Kentucky.
Winning like that is worse than losing.
She is also playing the "protection" racket game on the party. It is time to shut her up permanently. Now we see exactly what she is. We don't need any of that, thank you. It doesn't pay to yield to such criminals.

John Edwards manager, this is a very BRILLIANT guy, who is very POSITIVE and idealistic. I am John Edwards supporter, because I voted for him, but I know this man, as I felt he should be running for President because of his wisdom..and his charisma...His ideas were similar to Obama's. the only thing was that Edwards was controlled by his wife and couldn't deliver.You know, Edwards really wanted to endorse Obama, but his bitchy wife has delayed the process thus far....What will she do now?????So his manager made that move to indicate his(Edwards) willingness to support Obama. Come on Edwards, endorse Obama. Don't allow your wife to manipulate you....

Drip...Drip...Drip... and the Superdelegates are off!

TomDavie,

Unfortunately, that may be the only fair solution. At least by splitting, they still get to go and represent their state. The fact is that theu broke the rules and the DNC needed to set an example to discourage other states from doing the same thing. Otherwise, we would have had states moving their primary and caucus dates back to 2007!!!! A good compromise would be to seat the delegates (so the state gets representation) but split them so that they can not change the election outcome (punishment for breaking the rules).

Well, while you are all deciding the outcome of Michigan - I live here and I can tell you that I did not vote in February because my candidate was not on the ballot and because we were led to believe it wasn't going to count - however you now want to slice and dice it -- so somehow there is a huge door of ambiguity for Michigan that was purposefully left open. It's like the old trick telling everyone to stay home on voting day. I did not see the merit of going down to vote "uncommitted" on that day. If you really want to seat these delegates fairly - take my scenario into consideration - take the time and place in consideration - in February, Clinton was ahead; had Michigan waited their turn like they were supposed to, it could have been right into Obama's winning streak - that should be considered as well. This isn't a straight up answer weighing in on the fact that Hillary broke the rules and put her name on the ballot and so now, she should get her votes she picked up for doing so. It should be weighed with all factors considered and/or simply doled out evenly to avoid trying to speculate what if.

Melissa,

I sympathize with what you are saying. I am an Obama supporter, yet I understand why people vote for Clinton. She is a smart and likeable person. I also like Senator Clinton. If Obama was not running, I would vote for her.

However, there are only a select few people that I have accused of being racist. Those that make Jokes about Wright being Secretary of State, 50 Cent being Vice President and so on. Those that make Obama/Osama comparisons,
and finally, those that will vote for McCain if Obama gets the nomination and who call themselves "life long" democrats. How could you vote for a democrat all your life, but when a black man gets the nomination, you want to vote republican. I find that troubling.

I can tell each of us that take the time out to partake in these blogs is very passionate about politics, the future of our country and the future of ourselves and kids - This PASSION can fuel negative or positive energy, depending on who you are....

I respect that passion whether you are democrat our Republican. Please take that same level of passion but use it positively for the greater good.

It is only human nature to chose our own ( birds of a feather flock together). But we are equally capable of rising above the norm or the status quo or the misrepresentations. Put the anger, the racisms aside and realize that ppl like Russ Limbaugh is using this to tear us apart even further..

Don't be biased and vote for Hillary because she is a woman or because you are blindly following the clinton dynasty. On the other hand don't just vote for Obama because he's black.

Democrats can only win if we UNITE!!! If you don't believe obama is more honest than clinton vote clinton or vise versa....... but don't come in here tearing each other apart. We should promise ourselves as democrats that we will support democrats, not be Disenchanted if we ( hillary or obama) come in first or second on the ticket. Just know in either case we will have a win. And don't think for a minute that they won't reunite when the dust is settled, they are smarter than that not to....

Overturning Roe v Wade has nothing to do with congress and everything to do with the suprem court. Alito and Roberts are very conservative appointments. If McCain gets the POTUS, he claims he will look to replace retiring judges with more conservatives. There are, at least, two judges with a real potential of retiring over a 4 - 8 year span. That would put 4 very conservative judges on the bench with the power and inclination to over turn Roe v wad and congress wouldn't be able to do a darn thing. Bench appointments are for life. They will be shaping laws against women's rights for decades. I am an independent with democratic leanings. By default I am for Obama and I really don't like either Clinton. If Hillary somehow gets the nominee, I will have to put the rights of my young daughters before my own reluctance to ever vote for Hillary. Then I would vote for her.

I can not see this party coming together
anymore. When people are called racist just because they have a different opinion. Whats wrong with this picture, have we really gone this far back in time, why are we acting so immature?
Back in November when I first started blogging everyone was so happy, excited,
looking forward to the future and what great posibilities we had before us.
Now look at everyone, and don't try and blame this all on the Clinton's. Michelle Obama was the first one to bring up race on 60 minutes in Aug or Sept. So both sides are responsible.
The media is not helping by making out that one part of the party is more important, by belittling the working class, women, elderly, hispanics,
is wrong and I believe they played a big part in tearing us apart.

So unless everyone is going to stop belittling one another I guess we will
see McCain in the white house.
